That's what I'm thinking....

Luckily we bought a few after thanksgiving on super sale so at least it wasn't as big of a loss :-)

taberbtb ,

*I ended up doing a different recipe because I couldn't find the other one I thought I had saved

I used this recipe but did them in the instant pot. I browned the chops on the saute function and then took them out and mixed in the sauce ingredients. I then mixed the chops in the sauce and pressure cooked them for 15 minutes (the average time I read in other pork chop instant pot recipes)....I tried to thicken the sauce by removing the chops and turning the saute function back on...I lack patience for reducing sauce when I'm hungry ;-) we ate them over leftover mashed potatoes (also cooked in the instant pot!)

DH and I really liked them and our girls ate them without protest :-)
