BBQ Pork Chops
From A Taste of Virginia Cookbook

Prep Time: 20 Min	Cook Time: 20 Min	Ready In: 40 Min	Serving Size: 6

Ingredients
1 T. paprika
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. garlic powder
1-3/4 tsp. salt, divided
6 pork chops, 1 inch thick, about 3-3/4 lbs.
1 (8-oz) can tomato sauce
3 T. packed brown sugar
1 T. plus 1 tsp. cider vinegar
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp mustard powder

Directions

Combine paprika, cumin, garlic powder, teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne; rub over both sides of pork chops. Cover; refrigerate 20 minutes or overnight. Prepare grill for direct heat. In small pot combine tomato sauce, sugar, vinegar, chili powder, mustard powder and remaining salt and cayenne. Over medium-high heat bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally until thickened, 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, place pork on grill; cook until just slightly pink in center, 5-8 minutes per side. Brush with sauce; turn and grill 1 minute. Brush with sauce; turn and grill until no longer pink in center, about 1 minute. Serve with remaining sauce.

Makes 6 servings.

Note: Your time in the kitchen 20 minutes; ready to serve in 40 minutes. To give these chops a double dose of flavor, we rubbed them with a zesty blend of homemade spices, then basted with the sweet and spicy barbecue sauce.
