  1. I cooked this for DH and I tonight using 4 pork chops.This was GREAT!!!I will be fixing this again.It was tangy and creamy.We had it with buttered noodles and peas.YUMMMM.I had lots of sauce and enough for leftovers tomorrow.THANKS for a great dinner!!!
     
  2. 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!
     
  3. Yummy, yummy chops. I used about 1/4 cup of sour cream to make the gravy and man, was it good. Tender meat and the gravy went well over the mashed potatoes I served with this. No left-overs :( Thanks papergoddess.
     
  4. It certainly was good! I followed the recipe exactly and I did prefer the sauce with the sour cream. Thanks for the good recipe.
     
  5. 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

Tweaks

  1. Doubled the onions, tripled the garlic, reduced sauce before adding sour cream.
     
  2. 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!
     
  3. Soooooo good!!! I made it with boneless pork chops and cooked it for about 35-40 minutes. I also used 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken instead of flour. I added 2 "globs" of sour cream and the sauce was delicious on mashed potatoes. This is a definite keeper.

I hate to bake (almost as much as I hate to vacuum!), and I'll go to great lengths to avoid having to make cookies.
