This is a delicious way to make pork chops. So tasty and easy. It was a hit with my family. Made for Gimme 5 tag.

This was a simple and easy recipe for pork chops. Be sure to pour lots of gravy over the pork chops for flavor. Mine baked up in 30 minutes. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a nice, sweet sauce that is great over pork chops. I read the recipe wrong and used tomato paste. After opening 1 can, I noticed it said tomato sauce, so I just added 8oz water. Served with Recipe #228488 and rice.

I halved the recipe and used an oven proof skillet with lid to only use one dish. This was great. Chops were very tender and DH and DD loved it too. I definately will make this again.

I made a half recipe, using center-cut pork chops. The sauce is definitely sweet and next time I might reduce the sugar a bit, but the combination of seasonings really blend well together.
