Our family enjoyed bone-in grilled pork chops that were so tasty this week we have to share the recipe. We're not shy about calling this:

The Ultimate Grilled Pork Chop Recipe

Here's what you'll need:

- Bone-in Pork chops, cut about 1-1 ¼” thick
- Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper
- Favorite Dry Rub (Optional)

It's November 29, and those of us who are still eating turkey leftovers have had enough by now. At our house, Scott turned the leftovers into 10 quarts of homemade turkey broth and 3 delicious pot pies. Two are in the freezer for us to enjoy sometime later when our taste for Thanksgiving foods returns. And that...Won't.Be.Anytime.Soon.

OK, confession here, this one isn't really a recipe. On game day just head to the seafood counter at your favorite grocery store, pick up a ring of chilled shrimp... and replace the little plastic bowl of no-name cocktail sauce in the middle with Outta the Park BBQ Sauce!

I think the Food Network's Alton Brown is pretty much a genius. As a home cook with no formal culinary training, I try to watch every episode of Good Eats that I can in order to learn the simple techniques and equipment that Alton uses to elevate every day comfort foods.

My mom made this recipe when I visited recently, and I've made it three times since because it is AWESOMEl! Let's just say you can't go wrong when you combine chicken, bacon and Outta the Park BBQ Sauce. It's a great rainy day (or any day) "off-grill" recipe. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
