Honey Mustard Grilled Pork Chops

We seem to always have an abundance of pork chops in our freezer, not exactly sure why, but I guess it's a good problem to have. I've been getting tired of our same old pork chops which are good, but a little more on the bland side. So I started my search on Pinterest and came across this recipe. These pork chops are so flavorful and juicy. I love that the basting sauce only requires a few ingredients that I always have on hand and doesn't take long to prepare or to cook. These pork chops paired very well with the Cheesy Bacon & Ranch Potatoes that I posted about recently.

4  pork chops
Kosher salt and pepper
Liquid Smoke
3 TBSP. Dijon  mustard
1 1/2 TBSP. honey
2 cloves garlic, minced

1. Season pork chops with salt and  pepper. Give them a liberal dousing of liquid smoke (you can usually find this either near the seasonings or the BBQ sauce/condiments in the grocery store). Set aside.
2. Take your liquid smoke and give each side of the pork chops a 2-3 shakes to coat. Set aside.
3. Preheat grill to medium high heat.
4. Combine mustard, honey, and garlic in small bowl.
5. Place pork chops on grill and cook for 4-5 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 4-5 minutes. Using a meat thermometer check to see if internal temperature has reached 155°F-160°F, if not continue to cook an additional minute or two. Grilling times will vary based on the size of your pork chops.
6. Baste pork chops with honey mustard mixture and cook an additional minute. Then turn, baste the other side and again cook for another minute. I like my pork chops to be around 165°F, which is more on the well done side, but not to tough. If you prefer yours less done simply cook it till it reaches your liking.
7. Remove pork chops from heat and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes so that the juices don't run when you cut into the meat.

**Randi's Side Notes**
~ This recipe could also be done under the broiler if you do not have a grill. Simply place pork chops on a broiler pan and cook 4-5 minutes, flip, cook an additional 4-5 minutes and baste (same directions as above).
