South Pacific Pork Chops Recipes

SOUTHWESTERN PORK CHOPS

This recipe came out of necessity! I love to cook but hate to grocery shop, and one day I found myself with nothing but some pork chops, canned black beans and canned tomatoes. This is the dish I came up with, and my husband loved it.-Vicki L. Blaine, Plymouth, Michigan
