This was sooooooo easy and tasted great. I have a very picky 13 year old that only eats pizza,hotdogs,spagetti and that is about all. He LOVED this recipe. Thank you so much for this Chiara! I did not change a thing! Will make it again!

These were okay. I must be missing something, as many others thought they were great. I marinated the chops for an hour before cooking and although the sauce was good, I found the chops to be bland. I'm not sure I'll make these again.

These were okay! I doubled the recipe but using less ketchup, (as noted in other reviews) for the extra sauce. Sauce was quite runny, but added in cornstarch and it turned out much better then. It was great on the rice, and the onions on top were awesome. Next time I will try with a reg cola pop, not diet to see if there is a change. Will make again though.

My wife called it "the pork version of meatloaf" (referring to the sweet ketchup-laden sauce). I think this recipe is fine for when you're in need of making something quickly with pork, but is generally not something that will make my mouth water in the future. Another note - I used pork loin sliced into 1" thick cuts. This recipe probably calls for a chop that's less lean.

After reading the other reviews I had to try it, and I am so glad I did. I added sliced onions as suggested and it came out great. EXTREMELY EASY to make !I'll definately be making this again !

AWESOME!! Having a few guests, I used 2 pkgs of chops(10 chops), but each pkg barely weighed a lb...thus they were very thin chops. I used 4 heaping TBLS of brown sugar, added some minced garlic and chopped onions to the ketchup mix and before pouring the sauce overall, I sprinkled S&P and a dash of garlic powder over each chop. This was amazing! They were so tender and full of flavor! It was soo easy...will be making again!

This was a very good recipe. I really enjoyed the different flavor the sauce gave to the pork chops. I too used onion and garlic to add additional seasoning to the chops. I thickened the sauce by adding corstarch to the sauce as well (once I removed the chops from the sauce). I will be making this again.

I must admit, at first I quite skeptical, but I said why not. This dish was easy to prepare and delicious and even my 3 yr old ate all of it which is quite an accomplishment. I would reccomend this to anyone. The only alteration I did was to bake it for 45 minutes intead of an hour. This one is definitely a keeper.

This is the best pork chop recipe for someone who loves tender chops, but doensn't necessarily like the spicyness of barbeque. Putting foil on the bottom of the pan helps with cleanup, and the sauce is terrific for pouring over the chops when you serve them! Thanks for the recipe!!!!!

My family loved this recipe! The house smelled great with this great aroma! My husband couldn't wait to eat dinner. I did season the pork chops with salt and pepper before adding the mixture. I used Diet Coke since that's all i have in the house, and it turned out well! This is such an easy recipe to follow without compromising a great tasting dinner!!

I read the other reviews and based on comments of blandness and dryness of the chips, I seasoned first with a little salt, pepper and garlic powder. I also cooked them on the stove top in a non-stick pan. I cooked them covered for about 30 minutes (adjust for thickness of chops) and then cooked at medium high heat for 10 minutes with the top off so the sauce would thicken. You could remove the chops while you thicken the sauce to avoid drying them out.

I really liked the sauce but thought the porkchops cooked up a little tough. I will definitely make the sauce again but will try it with chicken.

One of my husband's favorites as well as mine!!! Sooooooooooooo flavorable. We love it! Shared it with a friend and now it is one of hers as well. I add a bit more brown sugar to give it that extra sweetness. Ms. Wine can cook for us anytime!!! Thank you Chiara!

Made this recipe a while back because I had to make something really quick. Served it on rice. It was a little bland, but it was good. I would make it again if I needed to whip up something quick. lkjohnson

I initiall thought the recipe sounded quite strange, but it turned out a lot better than I expected. I cut the recipe down to two pork chops but halved the other ingredients, leaving plenty of sauce. I also tried to let the chops marinate for a few hours before baking, and added some garlic powder to the mixture. I figure the longer the chops soak in cola, the more time the acid in the cola has to tenderize the meat. Marinating would probably help the flavor soak in (re: earlier reviews of it being bland). If you like meat a little sweet, and you like the slight tang of ketchup, this will definitely please. I tend to serve with some white rice and veggies.
