FAQ
Can I use canned tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes?
Yes—substitute with one 15 oz can of tomato sauce for a smoother gravy.
Do I have to pan-fry the pork chops?
No, you can bake them first, but pan-frying gives better drippings for the gravy.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, both the pork chops and tomato gravy can be made ahead and stored separately, then reheated together before serving.
