Smothered Pork Chops

This is one of our favorite comfort recipes, and on a night like tonight when it's freezing and there is snow outside, it's just perfect!

Ingredients:
Pork chops (6-8 thin cut)
1/2 c buttermilk (or see my substitution below)
1 1/4 c beef broth
1 c flour
1.5 T onion powder
1.5 T garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
Oil

Mix:
1 c flour
1.5 T onion powder
1.5 T garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper

Dredge pork chops in the mixture (we use thin cut):
Fry them in a pan that has a coating of vegetable oil.
Remove the pork chops from the pan. Add a few tablespoons of the flour mixture to what is left of the oil, and whisk together. Then add 1 1/4 cup of beef broth. Whisk together and then turn your pan down and let it simmer and thicken, about 3-5 min's.
Add half a cup of buttermilk, or if you don't have buttermilk 1/2 cup of milk mixed with 1/2T of vinegar or lemon juice.

Put the pork chops back in the pan and let them simmer for 3-5 min's.
Eat up!

  1. i tried making this tonight.
    it was very yummy.. thank you for sharing.
    i had one question though.. the oil in my "gravy" kept separating out. is this normal? i may have done something wrong, but i tried to follow your directions step by step. also, yours looked much darker than mine. just curious if i could do something different next time! thanks!
