This recipe was a bit disappointing. The pork chops were dry and the sauce was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The pork chops are always tender and juicy, and the sauce is delicious. I usually serve it with rice and vegetables.

The pork chops were delicious! The sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I will definitely be making this again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pork chops turned out great! The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's easily fixed. I will definitely be making this again.

The pork chops were a bit tough, but the sauce was delicious. I think I might try cooking the pork chops on the stovetop next time.

This was a great recipe! I used boneless pork chops and they cooked perfectly in the slow cooker. The sauce was also very good. I will definitely be making this again.
