First of all, I appreiciate it when someone takes the time to write a review, so thank you to all of you who do. I understood that this wasn't a gourmet recipe, but I was short on time, with few ingredients on hand and hungry people. I remembered a similar receipe using chicken, so I fired it up knowing how pork can be kinda flavorless and dry out, so I: -liberally added my fav spice mix, "Slap Your Mama" to the bag -used high heat to sear the chops for a shorter time -drizzled the leftover butter over the chops while they pan fried. -put them in the oven so they would be cripsy. My 23 and 24 yr old sons gave it two thumbs up, saying how moist it was. And while I'm more of a salad girl, it was really good!

I made this in kind of a rush, and at the last minute realized that this recipe didn't call for any seasoning. Usually I would have considered my options better, but since I was in a rush I made the quick decision to use garlic salt instead of garlic powder. It definitely helped, but the general consensus was that it was still that the actual meat was lacking in flavor. Next go round I'll probably stick to the garlic powder and salt and pepper the actual meat beforehand, oh well.

wow great flavors. I had only plain instant potatoes so I added dry basil and oregano. I cooked them 7 minutes each side. They were thick and boneless. They could have been a little bit more moist. So next time I'll try with only 5 minutes each side. It all depends on the thickness of the pork chops. Thanks morgainegeiser :) Made for the Australian recipe swap for March 2011

This recipe was made on 11/15/10 for our dinner and a few changes were made to the recipe and they are as follows. Since there was just the two of us, only two chops were used. I didn't have the exact potatoes the recipe called for, so I used plain instant potatoes and added about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Dried Italian Herbs.Other than that change the recipe was made as it was written.For some reason the chops came out a bit on the greasy side. But we both enjoyed the taste moist,juicy, and full of flavor. Thank you for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "

A HUGE hit with the hubby! These pork chops had a great flavor and were so easy to put together. I used bone-in pork chops so they took longer to cook - but I don't think the flavor would have been different using boneless. It's hard to keep pork chops moist and still have flavor. This recipe took care of both! Made for the September 2010 Aussie/NZ recipe swap.
