I made this tonight. I served it atop a pile of delicious whipped potatoes, and it was quite delicious. A very nice meal.... I omitted nothing, but the optional mushrooms, as I had none. I only added parsley, and a bit of sage and thyme, Besides the whipped potatoes, I served sliced cucumbers and tomatoes from my garden. I must ask you, #10. "I also have made this......by adding a can of mushroom soup." You add it to THIS recipe? or do you exclude something, like the tomatoes, and replace it with the soup? I just cannot even imagine it ADDED to this recipe...not at all, but I can if you omit the tomatoes...? II added some thyme & sage....I like it...and more salt and more pepper.... I should say I did made eight chops! (I have some big eaters...wcIs)

I was really glad to find this! I love Swiss Steak and only had pork cutlets, so I did a search on pork recipes and this jumped out on me. I love beef, but in an effort to eat a little better, I keep pork around. This was really good and I had all of the ingredients right here! (we were in the middle of a tropical storm so I wasn't about to go to the store lol!!). I didn't use mushrooms, but followed the rest. The meat was extremely tender and the flavor was great! I served it over rice and alongside some buttered broccoli. Great easy dinner!
