How to Make Pork Chops Piquant

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
  3. Add onions to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper.
  5. Pour the sauce over the onions and garlic in the skillet. Add the pork chops and arrange them in a single layer.
  6. If using, add sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the bacon and onions.
  7. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the pork chops.
  8. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  9. Serve immediately over rice.
