Honey Mustard Pork Chops

Prep Time: 3 minutes

Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

1 lb pork loin chops

1 Tbsp honey mustard

½ Tbsp honey

1/8 tsp garlic powder

1/8 tsp onion powder

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat the Indoor/Outdoor grill on setting 4.  

2. In a small bowl mix together the honey mustard, honey, garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper.

3. Pat pork loins dry with a paper towel and season with your favorite pork rub (I love a sweet and smoky rub to bring out the sweetness of the honey).

4. Place pork chops onto the preheated grill and place the lid on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes.

5. Flip pork chops and baste the grilled side with the honey mustard mix. Place the lid back on the grill and continue grilling for 3-4 minutes.

6. Flip the pork chops and baste the remaining side. Place the lid back on the grill and continue to cook for 1-2 more minutes.

7. Once the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 135°F, take off the grill and let rest for 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
