We have made this twice and both times it smelled amazing while cooking, but ended up a little disappointing. I think it's important to use thin cut pork chops in this recipe. We always buy thick cut and so were left with soggy pork chops, overdone veggies and no extra liquid for gravy. Like I said before though I think the results would have been very different if the pork chops were thinner as they would have cooked faster and absorbed less liquid.

This is my kind of recipe - simply good! I didn't have celery, so I used a green pepper. With corn on the cob and garlic potatoes, this was a terrific meal!

Super moist chops and the kitchen smelled homemade! Super easy, wouldn't change a thing. Made them with chunky garlic mashed potatoes. Added a teaspoon of cornstarch to make a fabulous gravy.
