Tasted great. So flavourful and easy to make. My husband is not a tomatoe person and I made more since I was having some people over for dinner, so I did 2 batches, one with tomatoes and one without and the one with the tomatoes tasted better. It added great flavour but didn't overwhelm, so next time my husband will have the tomatoes! The italian dressing gave such good flavour and I mixed the veggies in with the rice when eating to give the rice flavour and it tasted great. Will defnintely make again, and I normally don't make pork chops because they never turn out, but with this recipe they sure did! I made exactly as stated in the recipe but added onions and some seasoned pepper.

Easy to make. I used boneless pork chops, added a small onion, sliced thin and served this over spaghetti. Delicious!

I forgot the italian canned tomatoes so I substituted canned crushed tomatoes and added my own italian herbs, it was still good and even my daughter (who typically will not eat meat that is not in the shape of a chicken nugget) ate it.

Great recipe but like any other recipe I added my own flare by adding onions and some latin seasoning.

This was absolutely delicious! The only change made was the addition of onions - yum! I'm also going to try this with chicken, just to switch it up a bit. I definitely recommend giving this a try!

The only complaint in my house was that there was not enough meat on the pork chops. I think cooking on low in the liquid made the chops juicy.
