Not-At-All-Bland Pork Chops!

So, pork chops seem to be an issue to cook for most people, ...and growing up, I felt the same way; they just had NO taste! Joseph and I have played around with marinades and rubs for over a year now, and we've had some 'yes!'s and some 'no!'s, but last week, we had an accident that turned into the best pork chops we have ever had! 

We were making fajita sandwiches earlier in the week and had forgot to get taco seasoning at the store, so we tried to make our own to save time. Well, that turned into the hottest rub we have ever had, and Joseph marked it "Hell Rub" in permanent marker on the side of the Tupperware we stored it in.

While making the pork chops however, Joseph went to grab the Longhorn's rub we had put together out of the cabinet, and before I could point out that it was, in fact, the infamous "Hell Rub" he had grabbed, he had already smothered the chops with it. We both looked at each in fear (and seriously believed we had ruined the meat)! Instead, when we tried them, after cooking them in the griddle, they were the best pork chops we have ever had! Here's the recipe, ENJOY:
