Ingredients
- 4-6 thick-cut boneless pork chops
- salt and pepper
BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- ⅔ cup brown sugar packed
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

- 1 teaspoon mesquite seasoning see note
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper if using ground pepper, reduce to 1/8 teaspoon
Instructions

- Preheat grill to medium and oil the grates.
- Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place pork chops on the grill, cook for 2-3 minutes, then turn over and brush bbq sauce all over the tops and sides of the pork chops. Cook another 5-7 minutes, then turn and brush bbq sauce all over the tops and sides again.

- Serve with remaining bbq sauce. Enjoy!
