Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in smoked pork chops (about 1 3/4 lb)
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 can (15.8 oz) black-eyed peas, drained, rinsed
  • 1/2 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed, beans cut in half crosswise

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 450°F. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Place 1 pork chop on center of each sheet of foil.
  • 2
    In 1-cup microwavable measuring cup, mix bourbon, brown sugar, mustard and ground red pepper. Microwave uncovered on High 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture has reduced to about 3 tablespoons. Brush mixture evenly over pork.
  • 3
    In medium microwavable bowl, microwave butter and garlic uncovered on High 30 to 45 seconds or until butter is melted. Add peas; toss. Stir in green beans. Divide pea-bean mixture evenly on top of each pork chop.
  • 4
    Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal. Place packets in ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan.
  • 5
    Bake about 30 minutes or until pork chops are hot and green beans are crisp-tender. To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape. Carefully transfer pork chops, vegetables and cooking liquid to individual dinner plates.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Substitute a 15.25-oz can of whole kernel sweet corn, drained, for the black-eyed peas and fresh broccoli florets for the green beans. Bake packets 15 to 20 minutes or until the pork chops are hot and the broccoli is crisp-tender.
