Barbecued Pork Chops

Lean pork chops make a nice change from eating chicken, and the leanest cuts—from the loin—are leaner than chicken thighs, so don't feel guilty about eating pork chops from time to time. As with all meats, be sure to trim any excess fat before cooking. These barbecued pork chops are tangy and delicious.

Prep Time: 6 hours

Cook Time: 10 minutes

• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Combine ketchup, cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and chili powder. Place pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour barbecue sauce into bag and cover chops with it. Marinate for 4-6 hours.
