  1. This looks really good! Could you make this with chicken breasts? I have a family to make dinner for, but I know they don’t eat pork.

  2. I made this for my family tonight, and we loved it! The gravy is wonderful, I subbed in some red wine for a quarter cup of the beef broth, other than that I followed the recipe. I served it with some quinoa and green beans. Happy family tonight!! My 1 and 3 year olds even loved it!

  3. I made this tonight after having some pork chops that needed to be used up before they went bad. I loved the sauce, the only tweak that I made was that I added a little bit of honey to the gravy. I thought that it was too twangy for my taste, but then again I might have added too much vinegar. All in all, it was a good meal–and I had everything in house to make it!I served mine with swiss chard and some fresh rolls.

  4. After browning the pork chops, I put them in foil pans and covered them with the sauce. I baked them to reheat and it worked really well. They were delicious and tender.

  5. I made these tonight and they were pretty good. I was expecting the sauce to thicken up more from the flour, but it was still very runny. I also didn’t get as much mushroom flavor as I expected. I may try this one again, but let the sauce simmer a bit before putting the pork chops back in to try to help with both problems. I wouldn’t want the pork to cook any longer though because it would probably get too tough.
