If you plan to bake these pork chops, you could use a disposable freezer cooking tray during the assembly process. Add the pork chops, then the pineapple chunks and add the pineapple sauce over the top. Cover with foil and freeze. Thaw completely before baking for 45 minutes to one hour, or until pork chops are no longer pink in the middle. Cooking time may vary depending on thickness of the pork chops you use.
