I was very skeptical of this recipe, but it is wonderful. Follow the recipe and you can't go wrong! Season throughly, I think that is the trick.

HUGE hit. These pork chops were mentioned for days after. I created a dry rub for the chops using sea salt, black pepper, dry mustard, lemon pepper, and a hint of rosemary, and added chopped carrots to the pot. The pork chops were incredibly tender, and so very tasty. Huge hit for a very simple recipe! This is certainly a keeper, and a recipe that allows for a lot of individuality. Experiment with it, and make it your own. Thanks for sharing a wonderful basic recipe. So much better than frying...

I did this and it was okay. It came out a little chewy and not a lot of flavor. But I have some ideas to make it better so I will try again. I will brown the chop first and use seasoning salt, ketchup and some hot sauce along with the rest of the recipe. I did use chicken broth instead of water.

After trying this recipe, I am still eating dry pork chops!!!!I am with another viewer on Pork Chops. I have always had trouble making a moist pork chop for as long as I've been cooking and I think I'll give up. These were just as dry as any other pork chop I've ever had. Good flavor, but still dry. I followed the recipe to the tee, but shut the oven off about 10 minutes early. I don't know what I'd do different, but I won't be making pork chops anytime soon. Thanks

Update 10/20/09 Tried this one again and had a little more luck so I changed the rating to 4 stars.. used 3 bone in chops which I seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic poweder and cayenee, used beef broth instead of water, reduced the heat to 350 and baked for a little under an hour. Chops were definitely more tender and this was so easy that I will definitely keep playing around with it. -----------I halved this recipe and added a little more seasoning as other posters suggested but I only gave it 3 stars because the chops were not tender at all. I baked at 400 for 45 min and then 300 for another 45 min. I may try again but cut cooking time by a bit.

I made it just like the instructions said. My teenagers wolfed down a couple of these chops apiece and were eyeing the one on my wifes plate and mine too. I enjoyed the simplicity of it and the taste was quite satisfying. The four of us give it a thumbs up ata boy five.

These were the best pork chops ever! Just wanted to thank you very much for this recipe. My husband and family said that these were the best pork chops they ever had. The only change I did was put the seasoned salt on both sides of the chops, sprinkled the tops with garlic powder and worcestershire sauce. Absolutely delicious, tender and yummy!!! Thanks again for this recipe. My husband wants me to make it again next week. Is on the top of my list for dinners to make.

These are THE BEST Pork Chops ever! No more dry, chewy, chops! I used 1/2 in. boneless, and they were so soft we didn't even need knives! I seasoned according to my family's tastes (more seasonings) and the onions also came out soft and carmelized. I'd make this again for dinner tonight if I had more pork! Thank you, Thank you, submitter! I've always dreaded making pork chops because they come out so tough and chewy, but not anymore!! One of the best recipes on this site!

Yummy! I did sprinkle about half package of dry onion soup mix over the tops, along with the onions. I kept everything else the same. I shook the onion soup mix up in the pkg before sprinkling in order to mix all the ingredients that settle in the bottoms of those packets. Chops turned out tender, and best of all for busy cook...they take care of themselves. Stick them in the oven and forget them till time for dinner.

Made it just as written, other than using just 4 boneless chops. I'm sure they would have been more moist if I used bone-in chops, but they were still very tender and delicious! I used plenty of seasoning salt on the chops and sprinkled it on the onions. Just using salt and pepper won't be as good, as seasoning salt has things like sugar, paprika, etc. I'll make this again!

This is a great basic recipe for juicy, tender pork chops. I modified this recipe to include seasoning such as sage and a dash of garlic powder. I also poured a thin layer of honey barbeque sauce on top of each chop before I placed them in the oven. I used a single vidalia onion and it was more than enough for the whole pan. I also added a squeeze of lemon juice to the water in the pan. If you're afraid of serving the same dry, chewy pork chops everyone has regretfully endured at one point or another, try this recipe. The method of baking the chops in water is excellent and will be my base for all pork chop recipes. Try this recipe and modify it to make it your own.

OMG This is so easy and delish! My hubby doesn't care for pork chops, but loved these. Even my teenage son, who doesn't eat meat, liked this. Is great with scalloped potatoes. Thank you so much for the post.

Thank your for an easy pork chop recipe that doesn't contain soup. These were so tender and delicious. After removing from the oven, I added a little salt and black pepper to the baked chops. The family loved them. I will be using this recipe again and again.

I used boneless, so the meat was a little dry. But if I had used bone-in, that would probably have not been the case. The meat was TENDER. It was fabulous. I actually browned the chops first for a couple of minutes on each side in a cast iron pan on the stove. Also, used chicken broth instead of water for extra flavor. Then just put them in the oven in the same cast iron pan, with lid. Then when they came out, I removed the chops and added a little corn starch to the juices to make a yummy gravy. Very delicious!

I saw this recipe and thought that it had potential...however, i found it to be quite tough and somewhat bland. I followed the directions exactly, and have no idea what went wrong. Also, the onions weren't at all finished when the pork was... i had to saute them in a pan on the stove to finish them off. I don't think I would make this again.
