Submitted by Cheron

"A yummy one dish meal fit for comfort eating but surprisingly low fat if excess fat is removed from chops before cooking. The resulting sauce is delicious with the macaroni. Adapted from Theresa Verslanking."

Cheron, I make my mil's recipe which is similar. She doesn't add vinegar to hers though, just doubles up on the Worcestershire sauce and tomatoe sauce. It's delicious! And you can substitute pork chops too.
