Learn how to make delicious BBQ Pork Chop and Cornbread Skillet. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar, mixed and allowed to sit for 5 minutes)
1/4 cup melted butter
2 large eggs
1/2 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating, take a large cast-iron skillet and heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet, searing each side for about 3-4 minutes until nicely browned.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside. Pour half of the BBQ sauce into the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Fold in the corn kernels.
Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Nestle the pork chops back into the batter, then brush the remaining BBQ sauce over the chops.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
