• This recipe comes from a lady who was in my MIL's church. She was the local expert, made cream puffs for a concession stand for the church the local 4-H fair, and has written at least two cookbook. This is my most used recipe from one of her books.

• A couple of months ago, we saw a wonderful deal on barbecue sauce. I think we got two or three bottles, but I don't know why...because I ALWAYS go to this recipe!!! Enjoy.

• 8-12 pork chops
• 1-1/4 c. catsup
• 1/2 c. brown sugar
• 1/2 c. vinegar
• 1 chopped onion
• 1/2 t. paprika
• 1/4 t. chili powder
• salt and pepper

• Mix all ingredients (except pork chops) and bring to boil
• Pour over chops. Bake at 350 F. 2 - 2-1/2 hours.

• MY CHANGES:
• 1) With only two of us, I cut the sauce recipe in 1/2 and use it for 4 country ribs or 4 pork chops.

• 2) I use malt vinegar, and I always cut the amount in half.

• 3) I skip the paprika. (My DH rails against it, and we have none.)

• 4) If in a big hurry, I use minced onion from the spice rack.

• 5) I rarely ever add salt and pepper.

• 6) I often save a little sauce to spread over the meat just before taking it from the oven.
