Teriyaki Smothered Pork Chops

* 6 pork chops
* 1 tablespoon canola or other good, high heat cooking oil
* 1/2 cup water AND 1/4 cup water
* 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
* 1/4 cup ketchup (may substitute tomato sauce)
* 4 teaspoons brown sugar
* 4 teaspoons corn starch

1. Heat oil to medium-high in large heavy skillet. Carefully add pork chops (do not overcrowd pan, cook in two batches if necessary)and slowly brown both sides. Drain fat.
2. In bowl, mix together thoroughly 1/2 cup of the water, teriyaki sauce, ketchup (or tomato sauce) and brown sugar then pour over pork chops in skillet.
3. Cover and simmer slowly for 30 minutes, turn over and simmer about 20 - 30 minutes or until chops are cooked thoroughly. Remove chops from pan, cover and set aside (keep chops warm).
4. In small bowl, combine corn starch with 1/4 cup COLD water then pour into skillet and stir, loosening up the drippings left in skillet. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Reduce heat to low.
5. Put chops back in pan, simmer together about 2 - 3 minutes just to be sure all the chops are coated with sauce and nice and hot.

This is such a simple recipe because all the ingredients should be in your kitchen already. All you need to shop for is some nice pork chops. You can use lean pork chops in this recipe because there's plenty of moisture in the sauce.

For a change, I like to add a little onion slices to this because the teriyaki and onion combination really appeals to me. Just cook them up a little in the skillet after you've removed the fully cooked pork chops. Remove and set aside with the chops until you add everything back to the skillet.
