Sweet 'n Spicy Pork Chops

Mmmmm... pork chops. It's only recently that I've discovered a feeling other than hatred for pork chops. The meaty slabs of my youth were bland, tough, and always curled up on themselves, making them unappetizing and hard to eat. But now I've seen the light. With the right seasoning and cooking technique, pork chops can be good! In fact, they can be great! This recipe is one of my favorites; the chops come out sweet and a little spicy, but always juicy!

Ingredients: 
2 boneless pork loin chops (1/2 inch thick and 4 ounces each)
Dash of salt and pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard

Directions:
  1. Sprinkle both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper. Place on a rack in a foil-lined broiler pan. Broil chops 4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes. 
  2. Combine the remaining ingredients. Turn chops; spread with brown sugar mixture. Broil 5-8 minutes longer or until juices run clear. Serves 2.
