Spicy Pork Rub

Welcome back! It's Monday! :0) Well, I thought I'd spice up this day with the following recipe. I made this last Friday night. It's sooooo good!

Spicy Pork Rub
½ c. brown sugar packed
½ c. paprika
¼ c. chili powder
2 Tbsp. salt
2 Tbsp. black pepper

To use: Mix spices in bowl together. Spoon onto both sides of pork loin or chops. Let rest in fridge from 30 minutes to 4 hours. When ready to cook, preheat greased pan on stove at medium-high heat until grease is hot, but not burning. (3-4 minutes with no pork in pan.) Place pork in pan and brown each side for one minute. Then, turn burner to low and continue cooking for 5 more minutes or until when cut the juices run clear.

Tips:
I buy bulk spices from our local health food store. If you live in a rural area, you might search online for spices.
I make a batch of this spice rub about once or twice a year and keep it for use in the freezer.
Also, I watch for sales on pork loin and buy several meals worth. I divide the meat up, bag it in plastic freezer bags and freeze it for future use.
