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.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 8 know-your-farmer pork loin or rib chops , about 3/4-inch thick
- Salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste
- 6 thin lemon slices , about 1/4-inch thick

- 1 cup ketchup (my homemade ketchup is wonderful in this dish, but Heinz is the classic)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F
- Season pork; place in casserole dish, layered, if necessary
- Slice lemons; place one slice in centre of each chop
