Something is truly wrong with recipe.The beans should not have been cooked in salted water as all the salt from the recipe otherwise runs to the bottom of the dish and makes the beans overly salt . Then the pork; it was tough as hell with the suggested timing. If I ever were to make this again (and I might as I have all of the other ingredients in the garden this month), I would use far higher oven temperature and cook the dish for a much shorter time. That might work but I am not sure as the flavors then will have too little time to blend.

Beans could have been a little more flavorful, and perhaps a little less garlic on the chops (maybe mix garlic in with beans as well?)

Very yummy. I noticed a few people asking why reserve the green bean juice, saying they didn't see what to do with it. The recipe states: "Boil the reserved cooking liquid in the skillet and stir the browned bits until dissolved". I take "reserved cooking liquid" to mean the bean juice. ;)

This was delicious!!! The next time I make it I will only boil the green beans for about a minute, as they were over cooked!

Very tasty. This is a good way to use up the garden produce. I added a Vidalia Onion to mine. I will go heavier on the cheese next time.

I have the same question as another reviewer. Why save the bean juice? I used it to deglaze the pork chop skillet and poured in on the chops in the baking dish.Good. The recipe is a keeper.

added a layer of spinach on the tomatoes, used mexican cheese instead and added sauteed onions to the green beans...really good!

I covered the 8x8 dish with foil before putting in the oven. I used thick chops. They were very juicy.

This was good...will make again. Why does the recipe say to reserve part of the bean juice - doesn't say what to do with it??? We didn't do anything with it and pork chops were good.
