I often prepare a double recipe of these tangy chops, then freeze half to keep on hand. They're so easy and taste so fresh, family and friends never guess this quick entree was frozen! —Susan Holderman, Fostoria, Ohio

This is the second time I have made this recipe although I don't use the French dressing or all the brown sugar it calls for. The chops turn out delicious! I brown them then put them in the oven to finish. It smells delicious, too.!

Some of my family are huge fans of barbecue while others? Not so much. However, EVERYONE loved this! Someone even commented that the sauce tastes just like the kind you get from a McRib. Personally I think it tastes even better than that. This is an AWESOME recipe I'm going to continue to make over and over again.

Very easy and delicious! Sauce is great. Actually I used a honey barbecue sauce so I didn't have to add the honey just the brown sugar and french dressing. I browned the chops and then put them in the crockpot with the sauce over them and cooked on low for about 4-5 hours and they turned out tender and delicious! For sure a keeper...

My husband absolutely loved this and my 5 year old liked the flavor but she doesnt like the texture of pork chops but i think the sauce would work well with chicken too. This is a keeper!

Loved this! Hubby loved it. Kids didn't care for it. It's so easy, and the combination of ingredients is wonderful. I will definitely make this again. I rarely go back for seconds of pork, but I did tonight!

This was great. So nice to be able to freeze half and have for another meal later.

In my opinion, porkchops just need a sauce. They tend to be BLAH without one. This had nice flavor and was VERY fast to make. All ingredients are ususally on hand so I will make this again.

I was a little unsure of the combination of the sauce ingredients, but went ahead anway and boy, was I pleasantly surprised! The kids were hollering for seconds. Great recipe for pork!

I was out of sweet onion and french salad dressing so we omited them, It still turned out great and the meat was so tender. Will have to try with all the ingredients next time!

Fantastic, I followed the recipe exactly and was not disappointed. It was not too sweet and the pork melted in my mouth.

Was very tasty! But hubby did not like it. So I probably wont make it again. He said he really like the sauce but he just doesn't really like pork all that well. And be sure to put both the honey and brown sugar in! They are BOTH necessary!

Like another reviewer, my loin chops weren't tender after cooking on medium heat, covered for about 25 min. It was moist, but definitely not tender - will try pork tenderloin or chicken next time. Agree that the sauce is great!

Excellent, cut my own pork chops from a half pork loin, very simple, simmered for approximately half an hour, the chops were so moist and tender, definitely a keeper.

Awesome recipe! I have made this several times for my family of 9. I have done it in the oven and in the crock pot, browning the meat first, then adding the rest of the ingredients. The Sauce is JUST RIGHT!

This has become a standard in house that does not like pork!

I loved the sweet flavor of this pork chop.. Im wondering if cooking it on lower heat for a little longer would make the meat more tender? I might try this next time
