Spiced Pork Chops

Here's what we had for dinner tonight. I did make a few adjustments....instead of dredging the chops in the herb mixture I just mixed everything (except the flour) together and poured it over the chops after browning them with just salt and pepper. I did add in some Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes to the sauce. At the end I added a little cornstarch to the sauce to thicken it and we at it over rice. Yummy!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pinch pepper
4 (3/4 inch thick) pork loin chops
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 cup ketchup
1 cup water
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

DIRECTIONS
In a shallow dish, combine the first 10 ingredients; dredge pork chops on both sides. In a skillet, brown chops in oil on both sides. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Combine ketchup, water and brown sugar; pour over chops. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until tender.
