"My grandchildren always ask for this when they visit. I did adjust just one part and it may help someone else. After the pork chops are tender, remove to a heated plate. Leave the cover off the pan..." See more and sprinkle the onions with a little white sugar. The water will evaporate quickly and the onions will carmalize beautifully. Serve them on top of the chops and then make gravey in the same pan."

"Delicious! BUT, I think the second simmer is meant to be uncovered so the liquid can evaporate and onions camelize. About 10 minutes before they were done I had to boil down the liquid. I will defin..." See moreitely make these again, but I will uncover the skillet for the second simmer."

"I received this wonderful recipe today in my Allrecipes.com daily recipe e-mail. Luckily, I had everything I needed on hand. It had just started cooking and my husband came into the kitchen to see..." See more what smelled so delicious! I used a skillet with a top that allows steam to escape (from Cook's Essentials line on QVC - wonderful products. I added garlic (early on) and mushrooms (at very end) like others here had suggested. I also added extra onion and would suggest a minimum of 2 - could be more if you like onions. The chops cooked so well with the steam able to "escape", that I did not have to leave the lid off at any time. End result???? An absolute winner!!!! I would use for company....... They were soooo good - this is the first I've taken the time to write a review. Enjoy!!!!! "
