YUMMY. These were VERY easy to make. Enjoyed the gr. chilies and cumin in the recipe. Best of all it is mild enough to be kid friendly. Try it you'll like it!! TY Miller!

It's a winner! Hubby loved it. I felt like it was missing something, but I can't put my finger on it (too salsa tasting maybe). Overall tho, it was a very tasty entree. I served this meal with Green Chili Rice by Karen from Colorado. UPDATE: We had these again last night, but without the Green Chili Rice. They weren't as good as last week - or at least in my opinion - which is why I changed my rating from a 4 to a 3. My DH still liked them, but I really wasn't crazy about them. I'm not sure I would put salsa on my chops anymore (I wanted to bring out the chips), but I will continue to make this for the hubby. Perhaps it was the Green Chili Rice that I served as a side dish that made me like this recipe last week.

Delicious!!! These were so easy to prepare and tasted great. I will definately make these again.Next time I think I might simmer them in a covered caserole dish to really infuse the flavor into them. Thanks for a great recipe.

Excellent! This is a keeper! I doubled the recipe and I also cooked it about 45 minutes after adding the salsa. The chops were so tender and the flavor was fabulous. Served it with Black Beans and Rice(arroz Con Frijoles Negros) #90165. A BIG hit. Thanks!

Miller, you've done it again - just superb! We used some very, very good smoked salsa and sharp cheddar, and this was really stunningly good. I can't believe how wonderful this tasted. I made this exactly as directed, and think that the simmering was the key...it just "melded" all the flavors of the salsa and green chiles to taste like a much more complex sauce. The cumin was exactly perfect - it's one of those spices where just a tad too much is WAY too much for me, but it subtly enhanced all the flavors without overpowering in any way. I made this in a snap, and served it with corn that I sauteed with butter, parsley, and a bit of chipotle powder, to extend the tex-mex theme. We also had a green salad with tomatoes and avocadoes and a simple vinaigrette. We enjoyed this meal immensely, and will be making this for friends. Absolutely wonderful, and a go-to recipe for us from now on. If I could award more than 5 stars for simplicity, complexity of taste, and enjoyment, I would. I think I'm raving, but sometimes the simplest things are the best, and this ranks up there at the top. Wonderful!

Mille, Thank you for a quick, easy, and very flavorful recipe. I especially liked how few ingredients went into it. I used a 16 oz can of seasoned diced tomatoes instead of salsa, but otherwise followed the recipe. I allowed it to simmer for about 30 mins as we waited for the baked potatoes and steamed brocoli we had with them. Topped off with a glass of pinot and it made a very nice dinner. A definite 5 star recipe. Thanks!

Gee Miller I haven't cooked any of your recipes for ages and I am so glad that I came acoss this one, Just what I was looking for. It is simple, tasty and has clear step by step instuctions. I used boneless loin chops, fat trimmed, Medium "Pace" brand salsa and aged cheddar. Love that added touch of the cummin. I cooked them a couple of minutes longer as they were fairly thick chops. The result was a juicy chop with the sauce served over lightly buttered noodles. Thanks Miller love the recipe. Additional comments 9 June04- Love this recipe - simple straight forward. This time I used an easy quick salas recipe by Evangelia Thanks again Miller

Easy and tasty - two of my favorite qualities in a weeknight dish! Tanks very much for sharing. I made the recipe exactly as written and it was great. Especially good with a good chunky chipotle salsa. Served with NurseDi's Mexican Rice (also on this site) and had a great dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. Thanks for sharing!!

I've prepared this dish 3 times now since finding it last month. It's been my favorite "go-to" pork chop recipe because I always have the ingredients on hand. Fast, easy and my husband loves it!
