directions
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in large frying pan that has a lid.

Like everybody else, loved it! I had to use diced tomatoes with jalapenos. I also only did 2 pork chops. I cooked mine for 2 hours and they were fall apart tender. After 1 1/2 hours, I had to add some beef broth because almost all the liquid had evaporated. Will make this again! Made for Fall PAC 2012.

Could not believe how moist and tasty 2 really thick boneless chops were, after 2 1/2 hours of MORE than a simmer on my glass-top stove ! Had no stewed tomatoes, so used 1 can of petite diced tomatoes and added some dried basil and oregano, and slivered some fresh garlic. VERY tender and tasty. Thanks for posting, Mom67

THIS WAS AWESOME!!! All I had looking at me from my freezer were 4 frozen chops and this was the first recipe to pop up on my search. You saved my dinner plan and gave me something that I will make forever...the pork was so moist and the flavor so delicious. Goodbye Shake and Bake forever!!...Instead of Stewed tomatoes, I used a can of Roasted tomatos with garlic. Thank you again for sharing!
