Aunt Lil’s Pork Chops with Tomato and Cheese

porkchops with tomato and cheese
I remember when I was growing up and going to my aunt's house. I could hardly wait because I know that Aunt Lil would make her famous pork chops with tomato and cheese. A superb taste I will never forget. The pork chops were always fresh butterfly chops from the farm. They were covered with a layer of her homemade diced tomatoes and covered with mozzarella. Of course, they were always seasoned to perfection. When they came out out of the oven, the aroma filled the entire house and the taste was no more disappointing. To this day, I make her pork chops once or twice a month. Although, I can't duplicate Aunt Lil's Pork chops with tomato and cheese perfectly, I managed to come awfully close. You have to try this my friends. If you do, let us know.
