Sweet 'N' Sour Pork Chops

By: Margaret Pache

"'Featuring a twist of citrus, these tender chops have earned a spot on my family's list of favorite dinners,' writes Margaret Pache of Mesa, Arizona. 'To save time, I bake a double batch and freeze some. The chops reheat so nicely, your family will never guess they're eating leftovers.'"
