The recipe gives ordinary pork chops extra zing, but because the ingredients are low-fat, it won't give you heartburn.

Pork chops so so, Member Cookingflamingo

I had hoped with the worchester sauce this recipe would have more flavor. I tasted the sour cream mixture and added more as it was so subtle I knew it would not be noticeable. It was still bland. The other complaint I have is with the directions. If there is any oil left in the pan and then you add water you could have grease splattered upon you, dangerous. There is not anything really wrong with the recipe but I am searching for a more flavorful recipe that won't cause heartburn so I won't be making it again.
