Great flavor for the pork chops. Overall, I'm rating the recipe with 4 stars but I wish I could rate the gravy 5 stars plus!! The gravy had such a nice flavor. It was light and had a very unique flavor due to the sage and marjoram...fantastic creation! However, the pork chops did not produce the 2 T. of drippings, so I added another pat of butter to mix in with the flour - which worked out fine. I'd suggest serving this meal with mashed potatoes since there is plenty of yummy gravy! *Made for RSC 10 contest*

We loved these! Next time I will use low-sodium broth as the gravy was a little too salty for us. Otherwise these were absolutely wonderful. Made for RSC No. 10
