Pork Chop Supreme



This is a recipe, probably found on the side of the Heinz Ketchup bottle in the 50's or 60's and was served at my house a couple of times a month during the winter. Easy peasy and delicious.

  • Salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste

  3. Slice lemons; place one slice in centre of each chop
  4. Mix ketchup and sugar together; dollop equal amounts on each chop
