Smothered Pork Chops

I love this recipe! I use tomato paste instead of sauce and serve with mashed cauliflower for an awesome low carb supper. Leaves us wanting to lick our plates!

Made this tonight for dinner and it was yummy. I used olive oil instead of butter, fat free half and half instead of whipping cream, and 1 tbs tomato paste. I could just eat the sauce by itself.

I thought it looked good, and I was right. My husband said "oh wow, that looks good". Then he said "OMG this is really good", then he said "I can't stop eating this" and now he's taking a nap. Golden Recipe! Instructions and ingredients are spot on! Thanks for posting this recipe!

This sauce is a great base you could use with so many things. I took some liberties as well. I subbed Sofrito Sauce for the tomato sauce, added a little balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes (we like some kick) and non-fat milk for the cream. I'm not very experienced with pork chops and am excited to get a keeper recipe! Next time I'm going to try with thicker chops so they have more time to slow cook and absorb this miracle of a sauce.

Very tasty recipe. As several folks have indicated, I omitted the tomato sauce. Instead, I added about a half cup of apple wine. I also added about a half cup of Greek yogurt to add a little zing to the sauce. The chops came out of the oven tender and juicy, and the sauce was awesome. We'll definitely be making this again!!

This was pretty tasty, however I think it had a couple flaws. The chops were fairly tender, but not like I had hoped. IDK how you can "sear" anything in just 2 T. butter, w/o burning, so I used 4 T. of Butter Flavor CRISCO. Also, the sauce was quite good, but not very thick....I thought the tomato sauce sounded out of place, so I omitted it. I'm pretty sure I'll make it again, but will make some adjustments. THANKS!!!

I've been wanting to try this recipe for a while and finally made it last night. Suffice to say, it was the most AMAZING, DEEP flavor I've ever tasted (including restaurant dishes) and the chops were SO juicy. It is now my favorite way to cook pork chops. But really, how can you go wrong with bacon, sweet onion, and cream? Obviously not too friendly for the waistline, but I'm sure lower-fat substitutes would still be yummy with the way this recipe comes together. In fact, I forgot until just now that I used "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" sticks instead of butter b/c that's all I had, so there ya go! But do yourself a favor and splurge a little bit...use cream. It adds a depth of flavor that is SO unique. I knew it would be good, but it was FAR beyond my high expectations. To those who may think they want to leave out the tomato sauce/paste, I would encourage you to try it first. It's only two tablespoons so it doesn't add a 'tomato-y' taste...it adds a deepness and another level of flavor to the dish. I was tempted to leave it out, but thought I owed it to the recipe to try it with all the ingredients the first time. So glad I did! I actually used tomato paste, as that's what I had on hand, and it was wonderful. I think another thing that made this dish great was the incredibly sweet Vidalia onion that I used. I didn't have 2 small onions so I used 1 giant sweet Vidalia. I agree with the reviewer that wants to try it with chicken...I am going to do that next time, only changing the broth to chicken instead of beef. What an amazing sauce/recipe! Thank you for making me look like a gourmet chef! Definitely gonna be a repeat performer in our house! Oh, and yes JT'sMom...we were all looking for our socks after eating this! Sinfully delicious is RIGHT! Much thanks!

excellent recipe. I did omit the tomato sauce... as it sounded better without. Other than that I did substitute low fat half and half for the heavy cream. It was plenty rich and wonderful like that... and perfect with mashed potatoes.

This is one of the best recipes I have found on th e zaar. It quickly became a family favorite. I prepare it as the recipe is and have served with mashed potatoes and with rice, both are great, we can't decide which is better!!

We both really enjoyed this - tender meat and a really tasty sauce. I only had the Spanish smoked paprika so only used 1 tsp. Used tomato puree. Got loads of compliments. I also omittted the bacon. The sauce had a rich but not sickly taste we both liked very much. Will make again. Thanks for posting this recipe. Sheila

Yummy! I didn't use any bacon because I rarely use it in my cooking but I added half a cup of white wine in the sauce. Turned out perfect!

The pork chops came out very tender, but my DH and I did not care for the taste of the sauce.

Opps. Forgot to write anything the last time. I've been on this site less than a year and have gained a dress size. Well worth it when the food is as good as this was. Excellent pork chops. There are only two of us so I used 2 HUGE chops but did the full recipe of sauce. I covered the chops in the oven for 10 minutes and uncovered for another 20. Wonderful! I made the extra sauce as I knew I'd love it. Served as written but added a tbsp of brandy after the fact and will serve it over a steak later in the week. Thank you for a lovely recipe!
