BBQ Pork Chops

These were really good and super simple to make. If I had an onion I would have added it...but didn't have one on hand.

Ingredients:
3-4 boneless thick cut pork chops
BBQ sauce
onion (if you have one on hand)
salt and pepper
garlic powder (or fresh if you have it)
olive oil, butter


Directions:
Put a tablespoon of butter and a dribble of olive oil in the skillet(FYI...butter and olive oil together will not get too hot)...heat to med high. Brown chops on both sides for about 2 minutes each side. After the chops are brown...lower heat to low...add BBQ sauce to pan...about a cup. Flip chops back and forth to cover with sauce...add onions now if you have them....cover pan and simmer for about 10 minutes or until chops are done.

ENJOY!!!!
