We are making pork chops in tomato rice sauce. We browned them first and will now simmer them. Will they become more tender the longer they simmer?

Yes, the pork chops will become tender. As the connective tissues break down more. Don't add to much salt as it will dry them out and make them on the tough side....
cheers have fun,

Simmering Pork Chops

I heard a recipe on the radio for fail proof tender pork chops and it works! Soak the pork chops in a brine of: 1 cup water;1 Tablesppon Salt and 1 Tablespoon sugar for at least an hour. The longer the better. I've tried it and it works! Good luck.

yeah...
slow cooking especially in Italian dressing for two hours, tenderizes the meat but it should be closely monitored as it can get overcooked, making it less sumptuous.
You can use a mortar and pestle (like the one you seen in chemistry lab, but not the one you actually used, OK? :>) to bash it.
Beer brine helps to flavor and tenderize these pork chops. You'll be surprised at just how delicious these turn out.
Tenderize the pork chops on both sides with a meat mallet to 1/2-inch thickness or small cast iron frying pan, or use a rolling pin within 15 seconds.
My father taught me this one: Place the meat in a freezer bag, pour in the marinade, seal it with as little air as possible, squish it around, and throw it in the freezer for the next time you need it.
Marinades tenderize meat, keep it moist during cooking, and enhance flavor. Meat can be marinated for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.

the only problem is that by time you get done simmering the pork chops the dish is no longer tomato rice as you cooked the rice to mush....

No, they can actually dry out over time. Pork chops should be served medium so they have a tinge of pink in the middle. Do not over-simmer.

I think they will get more tender. Sear the chops and cover the dish....meats break down when cooked for a long period...keep an eye on the moisture level.

Yes anytime you simmer meat in sauce/gravy it gets tenderized.

Yes. The will also be juicier. The tomatoe sauce is acidic. THis will tenderize the meat.
