These were simply amazing. I have to admit I was a bit deterred when it called for mustard and Worcestershire sauce, but they came out so delicious I will be utilizing this recipe often in the upcoming summer months. It's quick, thrifty, and simple to make. Furthermore, pork has been on sale at Winn Dixie for as little as $1.99 a pound. So stock up, ensuring you have enough to meet your summer needs.

Pork Chop Selection Tips
- Color and appearance: The color of the meat should be pale pink. Never buy pork that appears iridescent. The fat should be bright white; it should never be yellow or brown. For bone-in chops, the bone should look fresh. The end of the bone should be red and white and there should be no discoloration or brownish hue anywhere. For boneless chops, you should have a uniform fat cap around half of the chop. These should be less fatty and they should be cut uniformly.
- Fat: Some fat should be speckled throughout the chop. This is called marbling.
- Smell: Chops should always smell fresh. There should be no foul or strong odor present.
- Pre-packaged: Always pick a pre-cut chop that has no tears in the package. Look at the date. Try and find chops that are as many days from expiration as you can. The fresher the better. There should be no liquid in the bottom of the package and there should be no appearance of a slimy film. The flesh should be moist and bounce back when you press on it.
- Custom cuts: If you are selecting from a butcher case, always ask to see the chops before they are wrapped. You want to smell them and look at them to ensure optimal freshness. Tell the butcher what you plan to do with them. Your butcher will guide you on what you need. If you don’t see what you want – ask for help.
