  1. I just made this recipe and the cook time was not correct. It was thawed overnight, cooked for 30 minutes at 350, cooked for another 10, then cooked for another 15 and the pork was still not cooked through. I finally gave up and upped the temperature to 400 for another 20. Then it was finally cooked through.

    1. Hi Sarah, I’m so sorry this recipe did not turn out for you with the cook time. Thank you so much for your feedback. I’ve passed this along to our Menu Builder team to review. I hope you’ll try another recipe with us. We do send our recipes through testing with test cooks before we publish them. We do however understand things need to be reviewed and adjusted at times too. Many Thanks! ~ OAMM

    1. Great question, Crystal! We would recommend uncovered. However, covering may help you brown your pork chops. Please let us know if you try covering it and how it goes!
