How yummy! A fast and easy dinner. I added extra lemon to the sauce mix because I like a tart taste. This recip is a winner!

I really liked this although I only gave it a 4 because I added things to the sauce as I thought it was too sweet on its own. I just put a couple of splashes each of soy sauce and worchestershire sauce, and then some garlic and onion powder. Overall though, it was great!

This was awesome! The flavor was perfect, the chops were tender, and what a great change to cooking pork chops! The only thing different I did was to put the ketchup mixture into the pan after removing the chops and straining off the excess fat. I heated the ketchup mixture and stirred it to take up all the browning left from cooking the chops. It really added extra flavor to the sauce! Will definately become a regular recipe in this house!

Great, quick recipe--all ingredients on hand. I used boneless pork chops and they turned out really moist and tender. I also browned the pork chops before I put them in the oven. Will do this one again!

I was suprised how much lemon flavor the pork chops and sauce absorb from just one lemon slice per chop. The sauce is sweet and tangy and stays thick which helps keep the pork moist. Very ketchupy but the kids loved it, which is always a 5 star recipe at my house. Thanks, Myrna, for posting!
