I REALLY liked how the pork chops came out -- fork tender and moist! I, too, had to cook for about 2X as long; First time 8 minutes and then rest to no steam. Opened and tested for doneness but, wanted them done more and simply put back on for about 8 minutes of cooking and 5 of cooling (at this point I was hungry so I forced it to drop pressure!) I added some dried minced onion in the olive oil when I browned chops, used roasted garlic mushroom soup, added a can of sliced mushrooms to the sauce (fresh would have been better it's what I had), and substituted greek yogurt for the sour cream. Canned soup is usually salty enough for me so I didn't anything but lots of black pepper and thickened slightly with a little cornstarch.. Served with steamed rice for us, noodles for my dad, and steamed green beans for all! Highly recommend!

Good. I made the recipe as directed adding onion and fresh mushrooms. The sauce could use more flavor.

Very tasty, but I had to double the cooking time also. Instant Pot is what I used. Added dried onion and a little Italian seasoning to the broth, used 1 cup of broth, seasoned chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder. At end, added soup and a spoonful of sour cream, corn starch to thicken. It was very good and very tender. Will make again :)
