I thought that I would try a diferent recipe than usual and these were okay. I really don't know, but I may try these again since I think that the problem may have been mine. They just didn't seem to have any oomph.

These were very good. I only made 4 chops, so adjusted the recipe. I did only need about 20 minutes to cook the pork chops, but I really prefer my pork just done. Thanks for a great recipe! I'll definitely make this again.

I needed to add a little liquid to the pan drippings - I think my chops were too lean. Otherwise, these were perfect. Tender and juicy and the gravy was yummy. Thanks Hey Jude!
