I have been in marital bliss for over a year now, but so far never managed to get into the kitchen. The reason? Hubby loves to cook and he is really good at it. Moreover, he is a finnicky eater and not easily satisfied. However lately he has been very busy with his work, so I decided it's about time to get into the kitchen... my first time EVER. Honestly, I mean it, I have NEVER cooked a meal in my life (not counting boiling an egg). And I was never nervous about it, how will my first meal turn out? Anyway, after this long introduction I will get to the point: Tropical Pork Chops was my VERY FIRST home made meal ever, and it turned out GREAT. It was really easy to make, what is more important, Hubby loved it (yay!). I look forward to cook again, in fact I told hubby tomorrow is MY turn again! Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe. I like this site.

My husband particularly liked these and he is a food snob. I made the sauce as directed, used more onion and braised it in a 350 oven for an hour. Braising is my prefered method for pork so it doesn't turn to cardboard. Moist, delicious and good flavor. A very good recipe that may be tweaked to your taste, but is terrific as it is.

This is the BEST pork recipe EVER! I usually have most of the ingredients on hand (or something similar, like garlic salt instead of garlic). I hate ketchup so I use just a couple spoonfuls of ketchup and replace the rest with bbq sauce. I often add sugar snap peas or broccoli. This recipe also works pretty well with chicken. The day after I first tried this recipe I was still so pleased with the sauce that I cooked it up with some chicken nuggets for lunch!

I have made this 3 times already - it is a main recipe for us now. Sometimes I use pork tenderloin instead of chops. The sauce take a while to prepare - but it is worth it. I reccomend making the sauce ahead of time.

This recipe was ok for most in the family, but a definite dislike from my husband (he doesn't like mustard, so that may be why). My toddler loved it though.

I made this a week ago. It was delicious! The pork was juicy and tender, the pineapple the perfect touch. I served it over rice. I will definitely make this again, probably once a month.

This is my favorite recipe. I double the sauce and drizzle it over everything when done. Very very good.

I cooked the pork on a lower heat for about an hour and it came out moist and tender. I didn't have any pineapple and I also substituted BBQ sauce for the soy sauce since that is what I had on hand and it was still great. Thanks for the great recipe!
