Ingredients: 1/2 cup packed brown sugar; 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing; 1/4 cup pineapple juice; 3 tablespoons soy sauce; 6 bone-in pork loin chops (1-inch thick and 7 ounces each); 1 can (20 ounces) sliced pineapple, drained

This is my favorite way to grill pork chops. The meat turns out so moist and tender when it's fixed like this. Usually, I serve the chops with fresh corn on the cob or green beans and dinner rolls. Your family will love it!

Ingredients

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
1/4 cup pineapple juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
6 bone-in pork loin chops (1-inch thick and 7 ounces each)
1 can (20 ounces) sliced pineapple, drained

Directions

In a 2-cup measuring cup, combine the brown sugar, salad dressing, pineapple juice and soy sauce. Pour 2/3 cup into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 4 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Remove from heat and keep warm. Place pineapple slices on grill. Baste pineapple with reserved marinade. Grill 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving. Place a pineapple slice on each chop.

This recipe is definately a keeper!!! The pork chops were moist, tender and very flavorful. I marinated for about 8-9 hours but I will let them set overnight next time.....the longer the better, I think.

Unbelievably delicious - can't wait to make these again! We used boneless chops that were 1 inch thick, and it took 32 minutes to get them done,

This is delicious! The marinade has just the right amount of everything for that sweet-sour taste. Will definitely make again. lmr67
