Smothered Pork Chops With Tomato Cream Gravy

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!

Absolutely delish! Made this tonight with preseasoned Italian "Fit-n-Easy" chicken breasts and some spaghetti. The sauce was just wonderful! Will try on pork chops as intended, and maybe some chicken thighs as well.

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!

with a few amount adjustments this was really enjoyed, I may even give it a try using chicken breasts next time, I also added in 1 heaping teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the flour mix and used seasoned salt, I also increased the garlic way up, thank you for sharing Gail

I love the tomato gravy! The pork chops really turned out flavorful and tender, nic and juicy. I agree with Andi, I think this sauce would be great over meatloaf. Made for Best of 2009 Tag!

For right now, the rating is for the *Tomato Gravy* as I have been hankering like a wheetle bug on the side of the long alfalfa stem to taste this. I have seen review after review and with this in mind, I thought this gravy would go perfectly ladled atop a meatloaf that I had put together earlier in the day. This was such an excellent addition, I am thinking that this will be my "go-to" sauce for meatloaf! Again, wonderful, soul-giving, and stomach filling recipes from this author. Bravo! Made just because I wanted to. August 2009 Will come back with pork chops too!

Wow, this was great. I often find pork chops a bit "chalky" but not tonight; ours were melt in the mouth tender and really tasty. I followed your recipe to a T except for using about a teaspoon of fresh sage leaves (pork and sage are sooo good). I found the sauce a bit thin at the end, so removed the lid and reduced it on the stove top. We ate the chops with crushed potatoes and steamed veg rather than pasta and that was good.

Wow, it truly is a surprise of a dish! Thank you for this, Gail Ann - it's a recipe that will be made for many years to come. I made it with four chops but otherwise followed just as written and it was perfectly savory. It was so good in fact, that my husband said he needs the recipe to bring to the firehouse. He takes very few recipes to work so you know this is a keeper.

I'm always looking for new ways to make pork chops and this recipe sounded good and had great reviews. That said, I am going to chalk DH and my not caring for it much up to different tastes and not the recipe itself. I found the sauce very think and rather bland and the chops were tough, very over cooked.

Wow! This was so good! 2 out of 4 kids loved it, 1 cringed because of the mushrooms, and 1 didn't like it at all. I say that's a great outcome. DH and I loved it. The sauce was so different from anything else. I normally don't like tomato sauces, so I was pleasantly surprised. The cream helped to ward off the heartburn I'd normally get from the tomato too. I think I'd leave out the brown sugar from the rub next time, just because I like my chops a little more savory. We served it over white rice with green beans. I want to try this again with pork steaks. Made for I Recommend Tag - Thanks! :)

I made this last night and really enjoyed it. I served it over egg noodles. The chops were very tender. This will be made again. Made for 123 Hit Wonders. Thanks for posting.

We made this last night and really enjoyed it! This was something like we've never tasted, which is a good thing in my book. The pork chops came out incredibly tender. We'll definately make this again. THANKS! :-)

These reminded us a little of Swiss Steak, flavor-wise. We had some thick loin chops that needed this kind of treatment to cook through properly, and this was a great match for them. Sliced mushrooms and onions made a great topping. Made for PRMR, July 2009.

Well, what can I say... these were TERRIFIC! They were tender and juicy, the sauce was rich and tasty. We loved these chops. I made them exactly as written this time but will double the sauce next time because it was really great and we like alot of sauce. My little girl wants to have these again. That's a big compliment coming from her- she usually doesn't like meat at all. I served them with Spinach Supreme Casserole. They went really nice together. Thanks Gailann! This is a keeper!
