Grilled Pork Chops and Pineapples


I won two bottles of Bob's Country Sauce in a giveaway from Michele from Life Lightly Salted

If you haven't visited Michele before, stop by her blog, I promise you will drool over her recipes and I believe she is having another giveaway.


Every time I opened the pantry door, these two bottles were staring me down. I really wanted to use them, but I hadn't figured out exactly what I wanted to do with them. So I moved them to the back so they'd quit looking at me.


Monday, I had planned on cooking pork chops, but I hadn't figured out how I was going to cook them. The weather was so beautiful, and I love being outside, so grilling was the obvious answer.


I had some pineapple chunks in the fridge and thought they would go great with the chops. How good are grilled pineapples? YUM! The heat cooks the sugar in the pineapple and the taste is amazing. Pair them with grilled pineapples and you'll feel like you're on vacation in your own backyard.




4 center cut pork chops
1 small can of drained pineapple chunks
1 bottle Bob's Country Sauce
Salt
Black Pepper
Garlic Powder
1 foil pan - brownie size
Season chops on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Arrange pineapple chunks in foil pan and place on grill. Sear chops on pre-heated grill, 5 minutes each side. Move chops to foil pan and place on top of pineapple. Drizzle Bob's Country Sauce on one side of chops, close lid on grill and allow to cook for about 10 minutes, turn chops and generously drizzle more Bob's Country Sauce over chops, close lid and cook ten more minutes.
Remove chops and pineapple, plate and serve. Allow family to worship you as a domestic grilling goddess!

I love pork chops and pineapples, but have never thought of combining the two. What a great recipe!!! My husband will love this!

Tiffany said...

How cool that it goes on the grill. I wouldn't have thought to use a foil pan on the grill, but that opens up all kinds of possibilities!

Katerine Pineapple and Pork Chop works for me they look so tender.

Marjie said...

Of course they worship you as a domestic Grilling Goddess! Pineapple with chicken prepared in the oven is also fabulous. Even crummy fruits and veggies have improved flavor from roasting, don't they?

If you try my fish, I hope you write about it; I'd love to see how your fussbudgets react to it!

Debbie said...

Looks delicious Katherine...I love mixing pineapple in different recipes!

Jersey Girl Cooks said...

Thanks for the recipe! I won some sauce too so now I might make this.

Elyse said...

What a great way to use the sauce!! That and the pineapple seem like a perfect complement to the pork. Mmm, you're making me hungry--and it's only breakfast time!

Dewi said...

What a delectable meal Katherine, I am sure the pineapple give the dish a nice flavor to it.
Cheers,

I'm not familiar with Uncle Bob's sauce. Sounds good. Pineapple is good with pork.
When you get a chance, stop by my kitchen. I have an award for you.

Pineapple with pork chops is a yummy idea, and a nice twist on the classic stand-by of apples and pork.

Lyndas recipe box said...

I love grilled pork chops and the addition of pineapple makes it an A+ recipe! So yummy looking. I love your blog, by the way!

I know Michele and I remember this sauce from her post. So cool you got to try it. I can't wait to start grilling for steaks and pork chops alone. So much better that way. Buying a grill soon!

OH MY! I LOVE Country Bobs!!! I would have never thought to put it on pineapple but I surely won't eat a burger or a steak or even meatloaf without a little Country Bob on the side. I'm going to have to try that. I looks divine.

Oxford Impressions said...

Those look delish. Not a big fan of pork chops because mine always turn out too dry. But this is worth trying again. Thanks.

i really need to find that sauce!

Debbie said...

I won two bottles of that too. So far, all I've done is added some to Chex Mix that I made. It was pretty tasty.

Katherine, those chops look so good that I tried to stick a fork in them!

Nice work!

I absolutely love adding pineapples to any savory dishes, as they release that lovely citrusy juice! yum!
