Very good recipe. I liked the combination of flavors - the mustard comes through but is not too strong, and the chops come out moist & tender. Thanks for posting ... will make again. -M =)

This is a yummy recipe! I have made it several times and actually was going to post it myself. I make it exactly as posted. It's a great fall and winter dish.
