MARGIE'S SOUR CREAM PORK CHOPS
This is a recipe my Grandma Margie has been making for the past 40 years and it's our favorite pork chop recipe. They're kind of sweet and kind of sour, but absolutely wonderful! You can also substitute 6 ounces of cream cheese for the sour cream if that's what you have on hand, in which case you should bake the dish covered. These chops are great served with rice pilaf, mashed potatoes, or over pasta, with a salad on the side. Enjoy!

- To achieve a perfectly balanced sweet and sour sauce, adjust the ratio of vinegar, sugar, and ketchup to your taste preferences.
- Enhance the flavor of the sauce by adding a splash of pineapple juice or grated pineapple for a tropical twist.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve a tablespoon of cornstarch in a little water and stir it into the simmering sauce until it reaches the desired consistency.
