Ingredients

  • 1  tablespoon  brown sugar
  • 1  teaspoon  salt
  • 1  teaspoon  onion powder
  • 1  teaspoon  chili powder
  • 1  teaspoon  paprika
  • 1/2  teaspoon  dried oregano

Delicious - so quick and easy to throw together. I used chipotle chili powder for the chili powder and it was awesome. Since I wanted to try it with both pork and lamb I just got 4 - 4oz chops of each. Couldn't decide which one I liked better although the pork was waycheaper. Served with veggies and roasted potatoes.01/08/10

Again, 5 stars isn't enough! This is worthy of company and/or a holiday meal, one of the best recipes ever. Oddly enough, I used pork chops the first time I made it and have never moved on to using lamb. Works equally well with apricot preserves. Definitely a family favorite and incredibly easy to prepare.10/14/08
