I've had this recipe for over twenty years and love it. Since the children are grown, I now cook just half the recipe for my husband and I. And it's so easy! You'll be in and out of the kitchen in no time. &mdash;Ann Rogers, Ocala, Florida




Creole Pork Chops

salt

basil

paprika

pepper

cumin

cayenne pepper

pork

canola oil

(8 ounces) tomato sauce

onion

green pepper

celery

Worcestershire sauce

garlic

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; rub over both sides of pork.

In a large skillet, cook chops in oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until chops are lightly browned; drain. Add the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook 4-6 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

This recipe was in one of the newsletters about a year ago.  It has become my and my family's favorite way to have pork chops!! It is easy to prepare and sooooo good!!!!  I definitely recommend it!

Definitely one we'll make again!  Next time I'll add more of the onions, green pepper and celery.  We're hoping this recipe will taste better the next day.

very delicious!! I will use the 1/8 teaspoon cayeene pepper next time though... my lips are still burning! Pork chops were cooked perfectly! Will most certainly be making this dish again.

Agree with the tip to reduce the amount of pepper. I used 1/8 cayenne.  I may use 1/8 cayenne and 1/4 black instead of 1/2 tsp.  Also, because of the quick cooking time after the veggies are added, they should be finely chopped.  The flavor of the rub is excellent!  Wonderful blend of spice!  I will make in much larger batches and store in the fridge for future use.  Yes, I will absolutely make this again!  Great recipe Ann!  Thanks for submitting!

My family LOVES this recipe.  Excellent served over rice.

These pork chops were highly approved by the male members of my family--and one of them does not list pork chops on his favorites list!  The only change I made was to add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the sauce--not much of a change at all.  Recipe yielded an authentic creole flavor.Recommendation:  Double or triple the rub ingredients for adequate amount to spread on both sides.  Also can use commercial creole seasoning to sprinkle on chops.

The recipe, as printed in the 'Quick Cooking 2009 Annual' does show to cook 15 to 20 minutes after the sauce and vegetables are added.  I used part of a pork tenderloin I'd thawed, and cut into slices .  I served with mashed potatoes - hubby went back for seconds, and almost licked the plate. It will surely go into my favorites box.

Delicious!  I served this over white rice with steamed broccoli on the side.  And yes, it should be simmered for 15-20 covered after adding all ingredients per original recipe in magazine.
