Just delicious Gail Ann! I made this for my parents dinner this evening. They absolutely loved it! I did cut amount of brown sugar to 1/2 T and that was just right. Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe! Made for KK Chef's Pick Tag

Wow! What wonderful flavor! I printed out the recipe and noticed a previous member saying the sauce was a little sweet,so I only used half of the sugar.I also noted that meatloaf was mentioned. So I doubled the sauce, made the pork chops, and the next day I made meatloaf. Talk about good! The sauce's flavors were even better than the first day! This is a fabulous recipe! I also used fat free half and half.Thanks so much for posting Gail, a real winner!Made for KK's forum event!

Melt in your mouth tender pork chops with a delicious sauce! The mushrooms were my favorite as they especially soaked up the flavor of the sauce. I used 1.5 times the amount of rub because I ran out of the original amount after 4 chops. We enjoyed the sweetness very much, it was not too much even with the extra rub. The only other thing I changed was that I omitted the onion (personal preference). The sauce was very liquidy and never turned into a gravy, but I'm guessing it's because there was no onion to soak up some of the liquid. So next time I will decrease the amount of liquid or add some cornstarch to make up for it. The only other thing I might change next time is to add some cayenne and increase the garlic if I'm in the mood for a little heat, but it is also delicious as written. Thanks for a keeper!
