Moist Tender Pork Chops are a great way to make your family happy. These pork chops have wonderful flavor along with being moist. My husband was happy to be able to cut his with a fork.

The other night for a special dinner, I made moist tender pork chops and added a baked potato with sour cream, butter and salt and pepper with asparagus. It was very tasty and so filling that I didn’t have room for the salad. Make some pork chops tonight and you will be glad that you did!
