How to Make Sweet N Sour Pork Chop Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Dredge pork chops in 1/2 cup seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in an oven-safe skillet (or transfer to casserole dish after browning) over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side to seal in juices.
  4. While chops brown, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a bowl. Set aside.
  5. Transfer browned pork chops to a casserole dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
  6. Insert 1 clove into each pork chop.
  7. Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the pork chops.
  8. Tuck 2 bay leaves between the chops.
  9. Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
  10. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until pork chops are tender and the sauce has thickened.
  11. Remove cloves before serving. Garnish as desired.
