I was sorely disappointed in this recipe. Even with added garlic salt on top & beer replacing water per others' suggestions, the pork was bland, bland, bland. I followed cooking times to the letter, and it STILL came out dry, too. Bummer.

Reading the previous reviews, I made my own adjustments and I agree that more seasoning needs to be added or it'll come out too bland. I brined it overnight and cooked it for 1 hr 20 minutes which was a bit too long. They came out OK but next time I will season just a bit more, brine overnight, and cook for a total of an hour and I think that'll do the trick.

I followed the recipe to a T. My pork is as dry as card board. I even added more seasoning as others have suggested. The meat turned out dry and a waste of time! I could have grilled this pork in 15minutes and made it turnout better than this hour and a half. 1 star!!!

This was one of the easiest dishes to make & one of the best Pork dishes I have ever had. My family agreed! My secret for this is to add a little bit of dried rosemary, crushed & sprinkled over the chops along with the salt & pepper. Also I had added a touch of cooking wine to the water, for extra flavor. This dish has become one of my favorite dishes now! I’ll be craving again soon. YUM!

Marvelously moist - a cross between ribs and pork chops. I did liberally sprinkle the chops with garlic salt for a bit more flavour. Even the onions were gobbled up! Will definitely make these again!

I will not make this recipe again. The pork chops were very tough and dry and had very little flavor. Not good again.

I found this recipe ideal for working person. I noted comments about them being dry, so found a marinade: allrecipes.com Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Vinegar. I put all that stuff in a plastic bag in the morning and went off to work. Instead of water in the bottom of the pan, I used the marinade. Because the balsamic vinegar is so dark, there really is no need to take the foil off to brown the pork chops. I think that will keep them more moist. I will make this again.

I have found that one should most always brine your pork. Standard is 1 cup uniodized salt per gallon of water. Cut the salt by adding sugar and swapping all or part of the water with apple jiuse. Goodbye dry chops!

Everyone seemed to be saying these were moist but bland, so I marinated mine in a tequila lime marinade all day. I would say mine turned out flavorful but dry. What did I do wrong! I followed the instructions exactly and they are almost inedible they are so dry. The only difference is that I marinated my chops. I'll try something different next time-- maybe a crock pot chop recipe.

I've never cooked any sort of Pork until tonight. I used this recipe, substituted some decent IPA(beer) for the water and added garlic powder, oregano, fresh ground pepper, cayenne pepper and seasoning salt to flavor the meat a little more. I also added some fresh chopped garlic as well as the fresh chopped onion. It turned out fantastic! My roommates loved it as well.
