Macaroni and Pork Chops - Mom's Recipe

1 package of pork chops
2 cans Golden Mushroom Soup
Mushrooms - fresh or canned
2 large onions - diced
2 - 28 oz. cans tomatoes
1 -15 oz tomato sauce
3 cups (uncooked) macaroni

Brown the chops, adding the onions and mushrooms to the pan.

Mix the soups, tomatoes and tomato sauce. Add pepper as you like it. (We never add salt but you may)

While the chops are browning, cook the macaroni.

Add cooked macaroni to the sauce and stir well. Put chops in a roaster, top with the macaroni and cover. Bake about 60 - 90 minutes.

(After the chops cook, I prefer to cut them in bite size pieces before putting in the roaster. I find the flavor is better. The dish freezes well.)

When I was a child, all I wanted was the macaroni concoction. I remember my grandpa saying,"How can she eat so much and be so skinny?" Ah, grandpa, bless your heart!
Shirl said she has the dish Mom used to serve her mac/chops in at the table.
