Smothered Pork Chops

Recipe Description

I used to steer clear of pork chops because I had too many memories of dry, overcooked pieces of meat which took forever to chew. That was until my friend from South Carolina made me her mom’s famous Smothered Pork Chops. Oh my gosh! This recipe has changed my memory of pork chops forever! Now, when I think of pork chops, I picture these ones: tender and succulent, smothered in a rich onion gravy.

The gravy is the real secret to making perfect pork chops. Make it by combining flour, chicken broth, and browning sauce and adding the mixture to the pork chops and onions. By letting the pork chops cook slowly in the gravy, you ensure that they remain tender and juicy. Serve these smothered pork chops with rice or garlic mashed potatoes and some leafy greens. Yum!

To make my version of Smothered Pork Chops, you will need the following ingredients:

Man, I was never a fan of pork chops till I tried this recipe. My wife made it one night, and it was like a game changer. The gravy was fire and kept the chops so juicy. Now we have this regularly, and I love it.
