Easy and good! Had to use pork and beans, but I want to try just baked beans as the recipe calls for, and not the kind with honey or onions or maple syrup, etc.

Dreamer, you were right, we loved it! What a great weeknight meal. I used thin boneless pork chops and cut the cooking time in half. Made for Zaar Stars, please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most.

This was good and easy to make. My chops were thin cut so I cut the cooking time to only 45 minutes. I also used 10 chops since they were thin. I followed the rest of the recipe as written other then I didn't add the onion or lemon as they aren't favorites of ours. Everyone liked them other then my 8 year old who saw me put mustard in them and refused to eat them :). I also cooked them on the grill instead of the oven. Nice Sunday dinner
