Barbecued Pork Chops with Roasted Red Potatoes and Salad

This was a great quick and simple recipe! We had to tweak it a bit since we switched to pork chops (balsamic marinade I just didn't think fit!)
Just a tip: when shopping for pork chops, try to get as lean as a piece of meat you can just to keep it better for you! 

Step 1: Take about 7 red potatoes and slice them about to the size below!


Step 2: Put your red potatoes in a baking dish like below and drizzle them with olive oil
Then add salt and pepper, I recommend using rotisserie chicken seasoning (It has a lot of flavor and you can find it in any spice aisle)


Step 3: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and cook potatoes from 45-60 min depending on the size of your potatoes! 


Step 4: Take out your pork chops, to make them a little more tender you can use a meat tenderizer but they will be fine if you don't have one!
To make a quick and lighter BBQ sauce Brett doctored a pre-made BBQ sauce
We use Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce which is delicious but a little thick so here is what he did:

You need: 
1/2 cup bbq sauce
1 tablespoon water
2 tsp tabasco

Mix all these together and lightly baste your pork chops to avoid more calories! Salt and pepper your pork chops and then put them on the grill! Grill for about 12-14 minutes until slightly pink in the center, watch out to not over cook them! 


Step 5: Take your potatoes out of the oven, they should look browned like below! To add some green to this meal, add a quick salad! 



Now you are ready to eat!! Bon Appetit!!
