My whole family enjoyed these and they were really easy, next time I will just make sure to spread my onion soup mix out more.

Fixed this during the 2009 Kentucky ice storm on our gas grill after 7 days with no electricity and it was TERRIFIC!

I was very disappointed in this recipe. The pork chops came extremely dry.
