- Once the grill is smoking hot, Add the pork chops to the pan and cook, 1 minute on each side, to achieve beautiful grill marks.
- Transfer the pork chops to a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and place in the oven to cook for 6-7 minutes.
- Remove the pork chops from the oven and allow them to rest on a cutting board.
- Heat the baked beans in a small pot.
