This was OK. I may not make it again simply because there are a lot of pork chop recipes that I like better.

We didn't like this! And was very disappointed as it sounds good. The meat was tough and the flavor strange. I won't be making it again.

Dinner turned out GREAT tonight! The pork chops were flavorful and moist. My husband said it was the best pork chop he's ever had.
