Why This Recipe?
Hello Friends! I have a great quick recipe for you today! These easy Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops are made in a single skillet which makes clean up a breeze.
They can be made in a single skillet which makes clean up a breeze. I like to make these when pork chops are on sale and I usually serve them with a salad and rice or potatoes.
What Pan to use for Skillet Pork Chops?
I love to use my cast iron skillet for this pork chop skillet dinner, but a regular frying pan works great too!
We had a busy weekend and one thing I love about this meal is that it does not need a lot of ingredients, and leaves you with little cleanup! It's all about making the most of the time.

The sauce comes together in the same skillet, which saves time and clean up.

Before you know it, you will have a wonderful saucy pork chop dinner! I love to serve this with rice or potatoes and a salad.
Main Ingredients for Stove Top Pork Chops
Pork Chops - these can be boneless or bone-in. Look for a chop that is at least ½" thick.
Onions - I use white onions because they are slightly sweet, but yellow onions would also work.
Ketchup - Surprise! Not an ingredient you would expect, but it adds a rich tomato flavor to the sauce.
Brown Sugar - This will bring out the sweet and tangy sauce that makes these pork chops so flavorful.
