Smothered Pork Chops at oldfatguy.ca

It is getting colder here in the mountains. It must be time to make more comfort food. So, I pulled a couple of loin chops out of the freezer and made smothered pork chops. Just looking at the picture makes me want to cook more.

I started by mixing the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder together on a plate. Then I dried each chop off with a paper towel and rolled it in the flour to coat. Save the extra flour mixture for thickening of the gravy.

I put the vegetable oil in a preheated fry pan and browned the pork chops for about 5 minutes a side over medium heat.

Take the pork chops out and add the onions. Cook for three or four minutes until the onions are just starting to get a little colour. Add the mushrooms and stir for two or three minutes until the mushrooms are starting to get a bit of colour.

Add the chicken broth. Put the left over flour mixture in a container with a lid that seals. Add the cold water. Shake until well mixed. Stir the flour mixture into the hot broth and stir until it thickens. Put the chops back in the sauce and cover. Lower the heat and simmer for 1 hour.

  1. Yummy! I loved smothered pork chops, but have never made them quite this way. This comes together quickly and looks delicious! We will have to do this soon!

    1. Thanks, Carlee. One of the reasons this is so good is it doesn’t take a lot of time to prep. I hope you like it.
