Excellent pork chops! I followed this recipe as printed, with the exception that I only used about 1/2 cup sour cream. I did find that after 45 minutes my pork chops were cooked and very tender, and almost all the liquid had evaporated, even with the lid on. I don't know if that was to be expected or not, but I do know that it didn't matter. The gravy made with the pan drippings and the sour cream was soooo tasty. I served these moist and tender chops with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli, along with the creamy gravy, and my family finished every bit of this great dinner. Thanks for posting the recipe!

It's so hard to find good pork chop recipes, but I was very pleased with this one. I tasted the sauce without the sour cream and it was very good, but I have to say the sour cream adds just the right something. I just added a couple of dollops and the flavor was delicious. It even passed my picky husband test. Thank you

This was easy, tasty, and very delicious! I used pork steaks instead of chops--they are more flavorful and do not get as dry as chops sometimes do. I added one rib of chopped celery to the sweet onion I had, and used garlic powder in place of the whole garlic. Sprinkled on salt, pepper, and a generous amount of paprika, and a squirt of lemon juice to give a bit of tang and freshness. I gave the pork steaks an hour and they were fork-tender. The gravy was delicious; I did add the sour cream, about two-thirds of a cup. This is a great recipe and easily modified. Loved it! Thank you!
