baked in the oven, but I've also fixed it in the slow cooker and on the
stovetop. Everyone who has tasted it loves it." Here's a homey meal
that feels Sunday-special. —Elizabeth Johnston, Glendale, Arizona

We loved it, especially since the pork chops got so tender and stayed
moist. I sauteed 3 small leeks in the butter, and I made the full
amount of sauce and added a 1/2 cup of low fat cream cheese. Used
about 6 smallish Yukon Gold potatoes, and seasoned them with Paula
Deen's House Seasoning, plus added a T. dried sage to the sauce.
Took about 4 hrs, first hour on high, then on low. I put foil under
the lid to seal it tightly, then for the last 1/2 hour, took off
the lid and simmered on high to thicken a bit. Lots of yummy gravy.
The basic recipe would have been a little bland without the additions,
but the technique was spot on.

This is a very tasty comfort food-type of meal that is not complicated
to make. The pork chops were so tender they were falling apart, and
the potatoes had a great flavor. I did have to add more salt & pepper
& the prep time was closer to 1 hour than 30 minutes.
