Ever since living in New Orleans, I have made this recipe. I do tend to like things a bit spicier, so I added one fresh jalapeno (with seeds) and 3 large coarsely chopped cloves of fresh garlic, along with 2 TBSP of the Cajun seasoning. I, too, saute` the veggies first, in olive oil, and add to the tomatoes and sprinkle liberally with dried basil...THEN I saute` the pork chops in the remaining olive olive and sear both sides and then add to the "stew"....served over rice with crusty French bread on the side is how my family likes it. Nice to see this recipe posted!

I made this using 1 TB. of MCCormack Grill Mates Pork Rub, in place of the Creole Seasoning. The sauce was excellent and the pork chops just ok. They were the thick cut boneless ones from Sam's and seemed too dry to me. Next time I'll probably use bone in for this recipe. Today I'm going to try useing this sauce recipe with thin sliced round steak cut into strips. I really enjoyed the sauce and think it would go well with chicken and beef. Not sure whether we'll have noodles or mashed potatoes with it yet.

I added some shrimp at the end to put a twist on it, but it was great without! Also made my own creole seasoning with only a little bit of cayenne so my kids would actually eat this. My dad and my boyfriend scarfed it down, but the kids didn't seem to care for it as much as they liked the Creole Tuna on this site.

Followed some suggestions re: creole seasoning, made a huge difference. Less simmering for the thinner chops I used, and had an opportunity to use some leftover yellow and red bell peppers. Threw in a can of tomato sauce for a little extra to spoon on mashed potatoes. Family raved.

Recipe was GREAT! I did tweek it a bit. I had creole seasoning that I added to the flour before searing the chops and added about 1 cup of chicken broth after adding the kitchen cut roma tomatoes. Then I sprinkled a little more creole on top of the mixture before covering it, be careful though it can heat up the taste of the dish real quick...had my neighbors over for the taste test....and they loved it. I served it over brown rice...FABULOUS!!! However next time I will use center cut chops with bone., I used boneless, not as tender.

As someone else said this recipe is bland & it's truly lacking something. We did not like it well enough to make again in order to tweak it. Sorry, was hoping this was a keeper but not.

This was an excellent easy to prepare dish, I used my own cajun seasoning, green & red peppers, other than that I followed the recipe and it was delicious

Add a good tablespoon of Cajun seasonings to the flour and be certain to cook the pepper and onion till they nearly melt, remove from the pan and THEN brown the chops and return all the vegetables after. It was de-li-cious

Great recipe and easy to prepare. I made this with a side of brown rice and spooned over the "sauce". I could see making this again.

This recipe makes very tender, tasty chops with a great sauce. Best of all, the house smelled wonderful while they were cooking! This is very homey comfort food. I served it over rice, which soaked up the flavorful sauce. As my husband said, this needs to become a "regular"!
