My Recipe Box - Pork Chop Supreme (aka lemon, onion, ketchup)

 I have cooked this for years and never knew it had a name! Pork Chop Supreme!

For some reason, it is a favourite of John's.
This is a recipe, probably found on the side of the Heinz Ketchup bottle in the 50's or 60's as I found out. 

The reason I was even looking it up was because I thought there would be a better way and found a gazillion versions. I usually just put the ketchup and brown sugar on top. Most of the recipes I found mixed the brown sugar and ketchup to form a sauce, a much better idea. I never covered them either!

The ingredient measurements are loose, use your judgement.

Ingredients

2-3 pork loin or rib chops , about 3/4-inch thick

Salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste

2-3 thin lemon slices, about 1/4-inch thick

2-3 thin slices onion

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup ketchup 

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350F

Season pork; place in casserole dish, layered, if necessary

Slice lemons/onions; place one slice each in centre of each chop

Mix ketchup and sugar together; dollop equal amounts on each chop

Bake, covered for 30 minutes; uncover and bake for 20 more minutes, until crispy caramelization starts to happen on the top of the chops.

Serve immediately with mashed potatoes and vegetables.
