The Portion of my Inheritance

Over 30 years ago I found this recipe on the back of a pork and bean can and it has become one of our family favorites.

This is what you will need:

1 large can of Pork and Beans

1 teas. cinnamon (I usually add just a little more)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/8-1/4 teas. ground cloves

pork chops

apple slices (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Brown the pork chops on the stove seasoned with your favorite seasoning.

While the chops are browning, mix the can of pork and beans and cinnamon together in an oven  proof pan.

In a separate bowl mix the 1/2 cup brown sugar and the ground cloves together. I use 1/4 teaspoon because I like the taste of cloves, but it might be too much for some. Start with the 1/8 teaspoon until you get the desired mix.  

When the pork chops are brown, place them over the cinnamon beans, and sprinkle the brown sugar and clove mix over the top.

Bake at 350 for 45 min. or until the beans are bubbling and the pork chops are tender.

Optional: slice an apple and place on the pork chops 15 minutes before pulling out of the oven.    

Remove from oven.  

I usually serve with fried potatoes and salad.
