If you like pork chops and barbecue then I am pretty certain you are going to love these Smothered Grilled Pork Chops today. I don’t cook pork chops often, but recently I picked up a couple of packages on sale since I know that my mother in law loves them and I want to treat her to dinner.

This meal made enough for them and my husband and I (I decided I wasn’t going to make the kids eat all those dreaded peppers 😉 ) and it was absolutely delicious.

You know what, these smothered grilled pork chops were pretty straightforward and easy to make too. I had cooked up some brown rice ahead of time so that cut the time for that, and since the grill was doing most of the work all I had to worry about was the “smother” part in the skillet.

That couldn’t get easier since I took a shortcut and used Bush’s Southern Pit Grillin’ Beans to add to the sautéed and onions and let it simmer a bit. It made the perfect sauce for the pork chops. If you can’t find Grillin’ Beans, you can easily use your favorite baked beans instead.

If you don’t have a grill to use I am sure you can cook up the pork chops easily in a separate skillet, then finish them off to bake in the oven a bit. You don’t want to overcook pork chops and make them dry, but sometimes it’s tricky to cook them depending on how thick they are.

I found this video from Weber that shows how to grill basic pork chops – personally I use a gas grill most often but you will get the idea. It really depends on the thickness of the chops, and I noticed a couple of mine needed to be left a little longer than the others because they were so thick. I find it best to touch and test while on the grill (I love Elise’s visual how-to post on this!).

This Smothered Grilled Pork Chops recipe is definitely a keeper! My father in law left me the nicest message the other night telling me this is one of the best dinners I’ve made him. How happy does that make me? My husband raved about it as well. If I can figure out a way to get my kids to eat the peppers then this would make a regular appearance on the dinner table – maybe I’ll switch out the peppers for zucchini and squash like I did in these fajitas, there’s an idea!

  1. Confession time: I tried baked beans for my first time…LAST YEAR. We didn’t really eat them growing up in Canada, and now I am sort of OBSESSED with them! And on pork chops? Come to mama! Pinned!

    • I didn’t grow up eating them either, till I moved to the South 🙂 You’ll love this dish, thanks Taylor!

  2. Ohmygoodness. Just….all of this! Love Bush’s Baked Beans. Wish I was having this tonight! 

  3. Ok, any recipe that has “smothered” in the name is my kind of meal!! If the bean mixture and pork chops were plated separately, I would cut up the pork chop and mix it with the beans! Way to be one step ahead 🙂 

  4. So, I’m not much for pork chops….but these pictures! I’m craving. Need this recipe!!!

    • I don’t eat pork chops often, but they get requested often 🙂 I enjoyed them smothered! I would like this dish with or without the chops honestly, those beans and veggies and rice were so good!
