This version of Baked Cranberry Pork Chops is straight from our Grandma’s trusty wooden recipe box. The pork chops are cooked low and slow in the oven for a juicy, tender texture.  The sauce is almost like a sweet barbecue sauce and is made of just 3 ingredients.

Baked Cranberry Pork Chops

When we found this recipe, we were intrigued by the list of ingredients for the sauce – dry onion soup mix packet, French dressing, jellied cranberry sauce – so we had to try it! This wasn’t a recipe our Grandma fixed for us when we were growing up but we knew it had to be good if she kept it in her collection of hand-written recipes.

It didn’t disappoint!

Barbara’s family only eats two pork chops at a time, so she put the extra pork chops and sauce in freezer bags (uncooked), and threw them in the freezer for a second or third meal.  You could even change up the protein for a delicious chicken dish.

Serve these Baked Cranberry Pork Chops over rice, noodles or all by themselves. This meal is screaming to be eaten with a salad such as our Old Fashioned Pea Salad or our Ranch Cauliflower Salad.
