I used bone-in pork chops but next time I'll use boneless. They were a bit dry so I may cook them less than 45 minutes. The taste is great. The seasonings are perfect in the sauce. I used mozzarella cheese instead of parmesan. Next time I'll brown the onions before adding them to the sauce. That way they won't be crunchy. Even after 45 minutes they were crunchy. Thanks Lori :) Made for Holiday tag -
Great recipe! It got all eaten with no leftovers. Followed the recipe except for two small changes. I add fresh minced garlic to the sauce. After reading the other reviews I decided to mix the macaroni with sauce and sprinkled mozzarella on top. Will be making again. -
I had cut this recipe down to 2 servings but after reading the reviews I kept the sauce at the same amount listed. I am really glad I did because it made it nice and saucy. I just found the pork chops were missing something. Some seasonings maybe, just can't put my finger on it. But this is a very quick meal to put together which is great to do during the week. Thanks for sharing Lori Mama -
Made this tonight for my DW. I added some sliced onions and green and red peppers for some added flavor. Excellent recipe. -
Cut this down to 2 servings and it was ok for us. I think I needed some more sauce. Thanks for posting. Made for Everyday is a Holiday Game 2010.
