BAKED PORK CHOPS 4 boneless pork chops ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper ½ cup ketchup ¼ cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon cold water 4 large onion slices Preheat oven to 375°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Pat dry the chops and season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, and water. Set aside. Place the chops on the prepared baking sheet and divide the ketchup mixture among the chops. Evenly spread to cover each chop. Place one onion over each chop. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
