Ingredients

• 6 boneless pork chops
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp celery salt
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 stick butter
• 6 hamburger buns
• 6 tbsp applesauce
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Optional Additions & Variations:
• Add a slice of melted cheddar or Swiss cheese for extra richness.
• Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard or mayo on the buns for added depth of flavor.

• Try brioche or pretzel buns for a gourmet touch.
• Serve with coleslaw for a crunchy contrast.

Preparation Method

Season the pork chops with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, celery salt, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the sliced onions until soft and caramelized. Remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, sear the seasoned pork chops for 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through.

While the pork chops cook, toast the hamburger buns with a little butter in a separate pan or under a broiler until lightly golden.

To assemble, place a pork chop on the bottom half of each bun, top with sautéed onions, and add a generous spoonful of applesauce. Cover with the top bun.

Serve hot with fries, chips, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.

Tips and Conclusion

For extra juiciness, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after cooking before assembling the sandwiches.
