  My family DEVOURED this dish. My kids are always hesitant to try new things but their plates were empty before I barely got started with my own meal. My husband ranted and raved and wants it again this week. It's certainly a keeper!! Thanks for posting!! - 1/2/10

  I followed the directions and cooked this on low for 7 hours. The sweet potatoes were great, but the pork chops were way overcooked and dried out by then. The meat was inedible. This might have been delicious if it were cooked a few hours less. - 2/14/10

  I'm sorry! I have an older model of slow cooker. If yours is newer you may have to cook it low for less time.

  Very yummy! I added some brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg on the sweet potatoes, and they were perfect! The meat was a bit dry, next time I will cook on low for 8 hours, and it should take care of that minor problem! All in all, a great recipe! - 5/24/10

  I must've done something wrong. I followed the directions to the letter and it turned out very watery. The meat is delicious, very tender, and the sweet potatoes are good, but the cranberry flavor got lost in all of the juice. Next time I'll try it in the oven and see if it works better. - 2/10/11

  My dad does not like pork chops and I don't like sweet potatoes but we tried it anyway...this was DELICIOUS! I spiced the pork w/ thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. I coated the sweet potatoes in a little brown sugar and cinnamon...it was fantastic! Will def. make again! - 12/11/11

  i made this for dinner, the meat was delicious!! but we did not like the way the cranberries made the sweet potatoes taste (that was not appetizing but i might make it again without the potatoes) - 5/6/08

  I like how easy this meal was to prepare. My boyfriend & I loved this meal, I think I'm going to try cooking it on high for 4 hours next time just to see if there is a difference in taste or texture. Yes I said it I will be making this meal again. Thank you - 2/24/16

  Good and easy, but I would recommend adding a little seasoning to the meat. The meat was super moist, though, which was nice & 1 serving certainly fills you up! - 11/6/13

  I cannot eat cranberries (dietary restrictions) so I put in 1 cubed apple and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce with 2 pork chops and 1 sweet potato in large chunks to serve 2, loved it!!! - 9/8/13

  I love this recipe and I haven't even tried it yet. I think I have decided to use it for Easter. I will most likely use chicken breast instead of pork. I will use a pork roast/chops at another time. - 3/29/13

  Did this and added a sliced apple on top while cooking. Nice and sweet, came out with the pork falling apart and all mixed together. The sweet potatoes do give it a bit of an odd orange color, but the taste more than makes up for it! :) - 3/9/13

  This dish is delicious. Will definitely cook again. I used fresh sweet potatoes and cooked in on low for about 5 hours. I stopped cooking when the potatoes were tender but not mushy. Will try using fresh cranberries next time. - 1/27/13

  This was so easy and very tasty! We made the recipe as written with fresh sweet potatoes. Both the meat and potatoes have an interesting flavor due to the cranberries but we liked it - something different for a change. - 11/7/12

  You might want to try apples or applesauce maybe. If you do, let us know how it turns out...

  :( I wanted to like this and was so excited... but it was just strange tasting mush. The whole meal got tossed out because no one in my family would eat it. It needs something. there is no zing, there's not even any cranberry flavor to the pork chops. It's just... strange. - 8/5/11

  I used thick cut boneless porkchops,used jellied cranberry sauce and peeled & sliced 2 granny smith apples to layer with the porkchops. I sprinkled 1 1/2 Tb brown sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon over fresh sweet potatoes and it was all done in 3 1/2 hrs on high! Quick & tasty meal! I was impressed! - 4/5/11

  I liked it very much. My hubby and two boys thought it was pretty good and my picky daughter wasn't crazy about it. I wish I had gone with boneless pork chops or maybe we would like it better as a boneless pork roast. The sweet potatoes were to die for! - 12/17/10

  My husband loved this recipe. I'm not crazy about pork, but I liked this a lot, too. The pork gets very tender. I added some dried rosemary&sage to the pork, cinnamon&nutmeg to the sweet potatoes (I used fresh). Everything came out tasty, and it still tasted great as leftovers later in the week - 5/21/10
