Another 'favorite brand name' recipe but there was nothing close to a brand name mentioned in this recipe. Maybe a relative of Barbara worked for the publisher.

I'm always game to try something new with my Costco pork loin. I haven't had much success slow cooking it but this turned out well. The pork wasn't stringy at all. I know some people would rather stick a hot poker in their eye than cook with a 'cream of' anything soup but as you may have noticed, I don't claim to be a gourmet. I like the creaminess and flavor the soup provided. The sauce was delicious. As if my word wasn't good enough, I did a quick Google of "Barbara's Pork Chop Dinner" and there were 333 hits! This is a popular recipe. Barbara must be very proud.
