Pork Chops With Gingersnap Gravy

Submitted by KathyRose in RI

"I first found the recipe in a low-cal cookbook, and lost it. Searching online turned up this version, which is how I remember it. Adding crushed gingersnaps to the gravy thickens it and gives it a great zing."

Made this using the baking option. DH said it was good but.... not enough gravy and chops were a little tough. Next time I think I will double the gravy and maybe not bake it quite as long. Gravy had a great flavor to it. I would have never thought to make a gravy with gingersnaps. The more I think about it....maybe I'll triple the gravy!
