CHARRED DOUBLE-CUT PORK CHOPS WITH BROWN SUGAR BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes, then turn over and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the center of the oven. Cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes.
