This recipe came out of necessity! I love to cook but hate to grocery shop, and one day I found myself with nothing but some pork chops, canned black beans and canned tomatoes. This is the dish I came up with, and my husband loved it.-Vicki L. Blaine, Plymouth, Michigan

Found this in a cookbook at the library. Sounded good! UPDATE: I've now made this and it IS good. I used garlic powder instead of the clove and it worked fine.
