SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place the pork chops one at a time in a plastic bag or between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound the pork chops to about 1/2 inch thick. Generously season each side of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
• In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat both sides of the pork chops in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Reserve the flour mixture.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook about 3 minutes per side; remove and set aside. Add the onions and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until translucent and tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute. Stir in the reserved flour mixture and cook, stirring, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a low boil. Return the chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Reduce the temperature to low, cover and cook 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook until the liquid thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Serve the chops with the onion gravy spooned on top.

SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble, being careful not to burn. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pork chops and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a large baking dish, leaving pan drippings in the skillet.
• Bake chops in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add sour cream to the skillet and whisk together with the pan drippings until smooth. Add canned soup and whisk until incorporated.
• Remove chops from the oven and pour sour cream-soup mixture over top. Return to the oven and bake until chops are no longer pink in the center, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

OBIE GREEN'S SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Wipe chops with paper towels to dry off; sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp white pepper; coat with pancake mix. Heat oil in large skillet; brown chops on both sides and place in casserole. I use a large lasagna pan, so that there's plenty of room for the gravy not to spill over) Saute/fry onions with remaining salt, pepper and sugar in same skillet, till lightly browned. Stir in flour; cook for at least 1 - 2 minutes to cook the flour taste out. Gradually add in boiling water while stirring with a whisk. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, till thickened and boils. Pour over chops and cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 1 hour 20 min. Remove chops to serving platter; keep hot. Strain gravy through a sieve, pressing onions with a spoon. (I skip this part bcuz I love the onion pieces in the gravy) Skim fat from gravy if necessary. Serve mashed potatoes and the gravy with chops. Yummo!

• 3. Note: I have tried making these in a slow cooker, and find you have to zig zag stack them and they have a tendency to fall apart...I like keeping them in a single layer,so they don't break up so much. If you are just cooking for two, and can put them in a single layer, that may work better. But personally, I love leftovers of this dish, and make alot of these yummy pork chops and mashies so we can have reruns. hehe
