Oooh, that looks good! What is the chop smothered with?
Thanks ElsieD! This is one of our long time favorites.
I have recently adapted the recipe to the Instant Pot. When I use the Instant Pot, I deglaze the pot with the sauce mix after sautéing the onions and garlic and before returning the pork to the pot. I use Manual, High Pressure for 8 minutes and Natural Release for 20 minutes.
