Tropical Pork Chops

By: Jeanette Babineau 
"I WAS FORTUNATE to visit my grandmother's birthplace in Hawaii, where I met relatives who taught me how to make this dish. It's been a family favorite since I brought the recipe home. The pineapple is a sweet surprise. -Jeanette Babineau, Grand Junction, Colorado"

  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion salt
