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:
Lightly oil a large heavy non-stick pan
In the pan, fry the onion and garlic until soft.
Place the pork chops in the pan and cook until they are lightly browned on both sides.
Pour in 1/2 a cup of water, and bring to a boil.
Mix the flour, chicken broth, and browning sauce together in a bowl until smooth. Add to the pan and stir well.
Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 30-45 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender.
Serve the smothered pork chops with garlic mashed potato or rice.
