Introduction

This recipe is intended to be used with pork chops (or chicken), but you can make it by itself for a tasty, meatless entrée or side dish. The calorie count does not include the meat because it is easier for me to track separately (I don't need to make 6 servings of pork for dinner, and I don't want to divide up open cans of beans and tomatoes).
