Does it every slow down? It doesn't seem like it...

It's been a crazy couple of weeks with the end of summer and the start of the new school year. It seems like every week is slam packed with multiple things every day. Each week we say - maybe next week won't be so crazy, but it is.. it always is. I planned to make this recipe on yet another busy night - then decided after I was trying to figure out how to make it easier, I better pick one that wasn't. Thankfully I read some of the reviews and I was able to not suffer the fate of many others who had dried out gross pork chops, no one wants that. I also added more spices and seasoning to the sauce to make sure the potatoes tasted even better. I cooked the potatoes for an hour first, then removed the foil and added seasoned pork chops to the top. 25 minutes got them to temp. Sure the potatoes could have used a touch more time but they were hot and pretty delicious. My family agreed this was a "do again" recipe. Andy liked that he didn't have to get the grill going after his crazy day of work then chasing around as well. I think you could meal prep this by doing the potatoes ahead... It would take even longer in the oven but I bet it could work. Whatever the method - with these tweaks... great dinner on a beautiful almost fall like day.
