My friend and I thought this was fine and worth a repeat performance. My only quibble is with nearly 3 lbs. of meat for 4 servings. We ate almost half of 1.62 lbs of pork...plenty left for 2 more or good left overs. Bottom line, however, was that it was easy, with readily found ingredients and it had lots of flavor.

As a rule, I don't rate anything, but this dish is sooooooo bad that I had to write in and save other people from wasting good ingredients. I followed this recipe exactly (something else I never do), and even browned the meat in batches so it would not be gray. The pork was still tasteless, the sauce horrific, and this recipe has no reedeeming characteristic. P.S. I am a pretty good cook, and have been successfully making online recipes every week for years. <br/><br/>Sorry yooper and Gidget.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
