DH cooked these up for the family and they were very well received. We were a little skeptical about the amount of ketchup but once it was all cooked up the sauce was delicious. My picky eater had, not just 2nds, but finished mine as well (we used pork steak so they were quite big). Served the pork with Recipe #426510. I had the sauce on the pancakes as a light lunch the next day and they paired very nicely :). Thanks for a keeper recipe, IngridH ! Made during ZWT#9 for my team, Tasty Testers :)

Very nice pork chops! DH calls them a five but I found them a little sweet for my taste. I will definitely make them again but I think I would sub some of the ketchup for tomato paste or sauce to reduce the sugar a bit. I had fresh mushrooms so sauteed them with the onions and bacon, otherwise made as directed. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. Made for The Bistro Babes - ZWT 8

I live near Seattle, WA with my husband of 11 years and our pet ferrets.
We're lucky enough to own a home with a big, south facing yard which is great for entertaining. It also allows me to have a big vegetable garden where I grow most of my own herbs and a lot of the vegetables we eat in the summer, as well as a bunch to share with family and friends.
In my professional life, I'm an accountant- but what I really love to do is cook and eat! Most of my ability is self-taught. I love to experiment with new recipes and techniques, most of which I get from watching way too much food tv and reading foodie magazines.
Recently I decided to start a personal chef business and have cooked for a few clients. I love the challenge of designing a menu to fit a family's specific tastes and needs, and then cooking it for them to enjoy.
For me, cooking is an expression of love. Everyone needs to eat, but food is more than just fuel for the body, it can nurture and comfort ~ give us a memory from childhood, or a retreat when we feel ill. I always think of the people who I'm cooking for when I make a dish, and there is no better compliment than when someone enjoys the food I've made especially for them.
I also like to do OAMC- style cooking, but instead of using it mainly to get dinner on the table, I focus on getting lunch in the bag! Eating out is far too expensive in both dollars and nutrition to make a habit of, yet I want a hot, satisfying meal to enjoy in the middle of the day. Cookin ahead allows me to have great food, without sacrificing either my dollars or my waistline.
