Wow!!! Delicious!!!
September 28, 2012
This dish is a slam dunk! I was a little nervous because I don't normally cook dishes with heavy cream but I did notice it was only 1/4 cup cream and that made all the difference! It was hearty and creamy but not too heavy. The vegetables were wonderfully cooked and the pork chops were tender. i was very careful to not overcook the pork. My only change was that I was running low on rice so I also made egg noodles and everyone, including my picky kids, liked the noodles better.
Pros: Will Make Again

Different but tasty
November 27, 2011
I substituted a few things.. used only one tablespoon of olive oil, margarine instead of butter (and only one tbsp) and fat free half and half instead of cream. I used sirachi for the hot sauce. It was still pretty good, but my pork chops were not that juicy. The sauce was really good though and my husband loved the unique flavor. I also loved that I had everything this recipe required on hand (or a good substitute) and didn't have to purchase a lot of items for one-time use.
Pros: Adaptable, Will Make Again

What not to do!
October 27, 2011
Argh! As I was making this, the smell and look were AMAZING. I followed the recipe almost exactly. Then I noticed that the veggies were taking too long to cook down, so I made the mistake of scooping them out, blending them up and pouring back into the gravy. Bad bad bad! Sauce turned orange and tasted like a red pepper sauce. It still tasted fine, but nothing enthusiastic like other reviewers, and the leftovers are still sitting in the fridge 3 days later. Next time, I'll stick to the script!

Great flavors in one pan.
July 13, 2011
I made this using two thick pork chops and the cooking times were perfect. I believe the thyme is an added layer of flavor for this dish. I used some Japanese hot sauce (which can be used for hot wings, mexican salsa etc.) and it was delicious. My husband loved the gravy and has suggested that I use the recipe for other meats. Recommended to try but make sure your pork chops are at least 1.5" thick.
Pros: Healthy, Appearance, Adaptable, Impressive, Will Make Again

I am a late becoming cook
March 29, 2011
All thought so simple - 'smothered pork chops?' BUT they had never added these veggies and that veggie gravy is to die for - to die for. The book arrived and those chops looked so g-o-o-d in that skillet which was the sell w/the recipe online. I bought this skillet and have made these smothered chops 3 times and better each time. I LOVE Wms-Sonoma Recipes - Never, Never Disappointed!

The BEST Pork Chops EVER!!
March 7, 2011
My family is very picky. If pork chops aren't smothered in apple sauce they wont eat them.. BUT.. i wanted to try this recipe anyway. It was the best pork chop I ever ate! Perfectly seasoned.. the sauce delicious!
I only made a slight change. I strained the sauce (because my family would not like the veggies and thyme) and added 1/4 cup white wine then added the cream and finished the sauce.
Absolutely DELICIOUS!!!

Sooooo goooood!
January 25, 2011
This is an easy recipe and it tastes wonderful. I do not own an electric skillet, but I used a teflon fry pan. The sauce is amazingly delicious. You could use chicken or pork chops. My family does not like very spicy food, so I just used 2 to 3 dashes of hot sauce rather than the 1 teaspoon recommended in the recipe. Also, as one reviewer stated, the pork chops can overcook. So rather than simmering the pork chops 10 minutes on one side and 10 minutes on the other side, try just 5 minutes per side and checking to see if the chops are pink. Although the pork chops were consumed, I have rice and the vegetable sauce for tomorrow's lunch! Yummy!

Easy to make, has a rich gravy and the pork is so tender. Wonderful for entertaining dinner guests, better than a standard roast.

Incredible flavor!
December 9, 2010
This was one of the best sauces I've ever tasted. Followed the recipe to a T and everything was perfect but the chops were a little dry. Did I cook them too long or not long enough? Any advice?

Smothered Pork Chops
November 3, 2010
I have made this a number of times. Really really good. I made it for my father in Texas and I did something alittle different. I made it and put it in a slow cooker. Thicken the juice before I served it. It made the pork more tender and was delicious. One of these days I will breakdown and will be able to afford your slow cooker. I do alot with them. Thank you for having such delicious receipes.

Wonderful!
August 29, 2010
Made this for my boyfriend who normally doesn't like veggies, so I cut the bell pepper, onions, and celery really small- LOTS of chopping that would probably have been better for the food processor! Anyway, it was FANTASTIC! I only made 2 pork chops for us but kept the ingredients for the sauce as written, so we had enough sauce left over to pour on top of chicken and rice for lunch the next day! A great recipe.

Rich and Special
July 21, 2010
This is a rich and flavorful dish that plates beautifully. The only change was chopping veggies in a food processor to speed things up. (Would consider using a blender stick to smooth it out as the pretty red pepper was already almost cooked out.) The use of hot sauce was fabulous giving it an unobtrusive zing.

Fantabulous !!
July 10, 2010
What a way to impress dinner guests. Served this dish to first time dinner guests and they thought I was a gourmet cook. Everyone finished everything on their plates and some even took seconds. I will use this recipe again and again. It doesn't have to be used for just special occasions. I even made it using chicken breasts and the flavors and gravy were just as great.

Amazing Pork Chops
May 17, 2010
I made this after a long week of work on a Friday night that I just wanted to stay in. It was great. I am not crazy about red peppers but in this the flavors blend so well I didn't even notice. I served it over brown rice and the left overs were even better the next day.

Easy Work Night Favorite

This recipe is Great. Fairly simple to prepare, flavors are complex and sauce made at the end with cream takes it over the top. Have shared this recipe with many people and all love it.
