Baked BBQ Pork Chops with Potatoes Recipe

Preheat the oven at 350 F/ 178 C and place one rack in the middle and one rack on bottom.

Wash and rinse the potatoes, poke them with holes using a fork, rub each with one tablespoon of butter, coat with one tablespoon of salt, wrap them with foil, and place them on the bottom rack.

Occasionally check the potatoes to see if they are fork-tender, and once they are, remove them from the oven but keep on the foil.

After you have removed the potatoes from the oven, allow them to rest until ready to serve.

Serve the potatoes by cutting one line across the potato lengthwise. Keeping the foil on or off is up to you.

Now using a towel or oven mitt in each hand, hold the ends of the potato lengthwise and gently push toward the center of the potato to open it into a potato pocket—season with salt & black pepper to taste.

Serve along with your BBQ Pork chop and Enjoy! Also, check out the optional Ingredients and Instructions for your potato pocket.

Season the pork chops with the dry rub on both sides, place them in a baking dish, cover with foil, and pop in the oven for 15 minutes on the middle rack.

While the potatoes and chops are cooking, place a saucepan on medium heat to make the BBQ sauce by adding all the ingredients to the pan. Whisk constantly while cooking, for 5 minutes, allowing all the elements to combine thoroughly.

After the chops have baked for 15 minutes take them out of the oven, remove the foil and drain off any juices in the baking dish into the sauce mixture.

Stir the pork juices into the sauce, brush the sauce onto the pork chops, and pop them back into the oven uncovered for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes have passed, turn the chops over, brush with more BBQ sauce and bake for another 10 minutes.

Once the chops are thoroughly cooked, remove them from the oven and rest for 5-10 minutes.

Serve your oven-baked BBQ Pork Chops alongside the baked potato with BBQ sauce on the side.

Using the saucepan that you will make the BBQ sauce in, cook the bacon bits until they are crisp, remove them from the pan, leave the bacon oil behind to flavor the sauce, and use the bacon bits to sprinkle on top of the potato.

Warm the baked beans in a saucepan using some or all of the remaining BBQ sauce to flavor the baked beans and pour them into the potato pocket.

Place a dollop of sour cream into the potato pocket, followed by a sprinkle of chopped green onion and bacon bits.
