Very nice. The only thing is that the chops came out a bit dry, so next time I will marinate them in the sauce. Thanks!

This was very good. The whole family enjoyed it. Instead of slicing my own potatoes, I took a shortcut and bought two bags of Simply Potatoes. Served it with some green beans and hot apples and it was a hit!

For just 2 of us, I made half this recipe in a 9" glass pie plate I sprayed w/PAM & subbed Tobasco for the cayenne pepper sauce. This is an easy fix & makes a complete meal when served w/a green salad. I worried it might be dry w/an extended cook time, but it was moist, tasty & certainly not in need of the so over-used can of cream soup. Thx for sharing this keeper w/us.
