Ingredients

• 8 pork chops
• salt and pepper (I use seasoned salt)
• garlic powder (optional)

• 1 (3 lb) can pork and beans
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/4-1/3 cup store-bought barbecue sauce

• 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional or to taste, adjust amount to suit heat level)

Directions

1. 1

   Set oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Brown the chops in a frypan on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder (if using); set aside.

3. 3

   Grease an Dutch oven or a oven-proof casserole dish (large enough to hold the ingredients).

4. 4

   In a bowl mix together the pork and beans, chopped onion, chopped green pepper, BBQ sauce, ketchup, brown sugar and cayenne pepper (if using).

5. 5

   Layer HALF of the bean mixture on the bottom of Dutch oven.

   Lay the pork chops on top of the bean mixture.

7. 7

   Top with remaining bean mixture.

8. 8

   Bake covered or uncovered for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chops are tender (if you prefer a thicker sauce then bake covered for half the time then finish baking uncovered).

   DELICIOUS.
