It was okay. Had no paste so combined 19 oz crushed tomatoes with a can of tomato soup. Added about 1/2 cup water only. Did the trick! Served with jasmine rice and roasted cauliflower.
Dorothy Flores
Pretty good and easy to make. I agree with comments on the amount of sauce and how quickly it cooks. We’ll make it again.
Rachel Hensley
Of course I made it my own, left out the sauteed onions and celery. I used jar sauce. Instead of using oil and cooking it on the stove top I used the air fryer to cook my single chop that I marinated overnight. It came out very good
Jeffrey Perez
This was delicious….I could cut the pork chops with my fork AND WANTED MORE!!!
Jenny Perez
Liberty was taken. Some black pepper and paprika sprinkled on the pork chops. I also added a 1/2 tsp of sweet paprika to the sauce and 3 fresh basil leaves. My elderly father ate it all. And said it was great. This has never happened before. EVER. This is going on repeat
Jeffrey Beltran
Very tasty! I used twice as many chops instead of cutting the recipe.
Nicholas Carroll
Tasted good and was easy to prepare. I made egg noodles and green beans to accompany them. The sauce was very good on the noodles.
Michael Paul
This was amazingly good for how simple it was and with so few ingredients. It did need more salt than the recipe called for but the chops were super tender. After reading the reviews and how everyone ended up with an excess of sauce, I chose to only use a tablespoon of tomato paste and a cup of water. That was the perfect amount.

Wow, terrific! I was looking for a healthy pork chop recipe. Great!
Patricia Robertson
This is a simple, good recipe. The sauce did not overwhelm the taste of the lamb chops. The only problem is I ended up with too much sauce.
Kristin Avery PhD
These were great cooked just as the recipe reads! Will make again for sure.

Most of us aren’t big fans of pork chops so we were looking for some way to disguise them and this recipe sounded like a winner. My 16-year old son made this for dinner tonight, and they came out delicious. He followed the recipe exactly, adding just a little garlic powder and crushed red pepper to the sauce. We were all chewing the meat off the bone; that’s how good they were! The sauce was really good too and we saved the leftover to put on something else tomorrow. Thanks!

I wanted some pork as an extra meat option for my spaghetti last weekend and found this to be perfect.
Angela Flynn
Very simple and good. I added bit more spice than garlic, using oregano and rosemary. Served it with brown rice and veggies. Delicious. I also found that I had a ton of sauce left over. I just put the leftovers in my crock pot and heated it up the next night and served over whole grain pasta. Simple and flavorful sauce to use as a quick meal!
Patricia Collins
Pretty good. Whole family ate it, which says something!
Laurie Caldwell
I absolutely love this recipe and make it quite regularly for my family. To spice it up some, I always add some Cajun seasoning and let the chops simmer until falling apart. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes (with a mountain of the sauce) and simple veggies and the dinner is always a big hit! Will make again and again!
Mark Yang
This was very similar to a recipe favored when I was a kid…basically only difference was using minced garlic and slicing onions (thin rings). The sauce was preferred a bit thinner and served with mashed potatoes. Talk about finger-lickin’ good — bones were picked clean as a whistle!!
Chelsea Garrett
I thought this recipe sounded pretty good so I tried it and it was good. My husband said it smelled really good and then he ate some with the dinner rolls I made (grannyrob’s old plantation rolls), and said it was great! I loved the sauce on the rolls, they went wonderfully together! This was also very easy to make…I will be making this again.
William Roberts
This was tasty and fairly easy to make. My chops were done in about an hour. So dinner ended up being earlier than expected. Thanks
Mary Savage
This smelled sensational as it was simmering! I thought it tasted very good, but my husband took about 2 bites and refused to eat it. He scraped all the sauce off his pork chop and ate the chop that way! For me I would make it again…but guess not for the family! You have to really like tomatoes, of course.
Tracey Murphy
This was a delicious change from plain old baked chops. I just moved out with my boyfriend and have made a good impression so far!
