Apricot Glazed Pork Chops
We’ve made this delicious pork chop recipe twice now and really enjoyed it. It’s really simple and makes a great main dish!
1 envelope onion soup mix (or mushroom soup mix)
1 (10-ounce) jar apricot spread (the kind w/ no added sugar)
1/2 cup water
8 pork chops, 1/2 inch thick (about 3 pounds)
2 medium red or green bell peppers, sliced
In a small bowl, combine soup mix, preserves, and water. In a 9″X13″ baking dish, arrange pork chops and peppers. Top with soup mixture. Broil, turning once, until chops are done.
