    I followed the recipe and mine did not look like the picture. I was hoping the sauce would be thicker but it was very soupy. The pork chops were still good but tasted lick pork chops. Not sure if I did something wrong or what.

    Tried this recipe tonight and my husband and I both said it was good, but needed something. I salted and peppered the chops before I browned them and didn't salt and pepper the sauce. Next time I might let the chops marinate in the sauce for and hour or so. I might play with some seasonings to add to the sauce too. Maybe seasoning salt, garlic and onion.

    Did you leave out a step or ingredient? This did not turn out and was very bland.

    This is similar to a recipe I use for Roast Beef. That one calls for brown sugar, coca cola, one packet of onion soup mix, and chili sauce. I use ketchup and chili powder in place of the Chili Sauce, with excellent results. I have also started omitting most of the brown sugar..just using a dusting instead of 1/4 cup. I would do this same treatment with pork chops, and I bet it would have enough zip for the spicy-food lovers in my family. Dr Pepper or Coca Cola would be interchangeable.

    I added brown sugar and dry garlic sauce and it really punched this up. Made it taste like a really yummy rib sauce.

    I made this, but I used a liberal amount of garlic and onion powders, some dried mustard, and about 4 Tbsp. of brown sugar. I also cooked the chops UNCOVERED in the sauce so as not to build up moisture and allow the sauce to thicken more.

    Correction, I did end up covering the skillet. My sauce is pretty runny though. I may need to see if I can get it thicker.

    Correction again, I took the lid back off. I took the pork chops out so as not to over cook them, and I just let the sauce reduce down. It thickened up more, and then even more upon standing. It's kind of like Heinz 57 sauce. It's good.

    What if you don't have an electric skillet? Can you oven cook these?

      It's not an electric skillet, just one for the stovetop. But I'm sure you could try it in the oven or slow cooker. Not sure what temp, though.

    My family makes these, but a little differently. We have always lined a baking dish with aluminum foil, placed pork chops in dish, pour coke and ketchup on top, sprinkle with brown sugar and throw in the oven. They are so good!

    I did this recipe and it was really good! I added some onions in the skillet before the porks chips and was thinking about adding some orange juice or peaches, maybe next time

        Made recipe several times with only variation dr. pepper. Wasn,'t happy with ketchup. Made it with a pt. of our home canned paste tomatoes. added 1 tsp. brown sugar, garlic and onion powder and Babunya's seasoning and pureed. put in pot and simmered while chops cooked. poured on chops when done, simmered awhile then pored sauce on spaghetti .Loved it.

    I tasted the sauce before cooking and thought it needed something so I added in some brown sugar and garlic powder. My husband and I really loved it!

    I made them. I thought they were really good. My 10yr old son didn’t like them. Which surprised me bc it’s ketchup and Coca Cola. I kinda think he thinks if he don’t like it he don’t have to finish and can go back to playing his game. He’s eating it. Lol. I can not wait until this stupid lock down is over. He’s taking months off playing video games. Best part is it’s such a simple recipe. No measuring 10 things and making a mess. Very good. Will make again. I wish I had a grill to brown them on before putting in the sauce. That would make them extra delicious!
