Sweet and Sour Pork Chops

My family loves anything sweet and sour. Normally they prefer their Pork Chops done only seasoned lightly and baked in the oven or my 1000 Island Dressing Pork Chops. This is always a hit with everyone!

The other day I thought I will surprise them by making these Sweet and Sour Pork Chops.

To be honest, I had no idea what they’d think of this dish, because it is nowhere near any kind of Pork Chop I have made before.

Sweet and sour pork (cubes) yes, but not the whole Pork Chop. Well, they then surprised me by all giving it a thumbs up !

I don’t know how things work with your family and food, but mine knows to always be honest about giving feedback on a new dish or recipe I have come up with or have changed.

Most of the time, they are all in agreement, either a yes, make again, or no way, please never again !

Sweet and Sour Pork Chops

Of course there are times where one would say no, did not like it. But, as usual, whether with families or politics, majority rules and the dish will be made again.

Although I’d try to only make it when the “no way” person is not here for dinner, breakfast or lunch !

Fortunately, they all liked the Pork Chops in the delicious, vegetable loaded, sweet and sour sauce. Not only do I agree wholeheartedly with them, but I also love the easiness of the recipe.

Sweet and Sour Pork Chops

So quick and easy to make !

Our usual supermarket where we buy our daily fresh produce and meat, had ready sliced (very thinly) packets of Carrots as well. I only had to chop up the Bell Pepper, which takes maybe a minute or two.
