Grandma Gardners Smothered Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Put the flour in a shallow platter and add the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture and then dredge them in the seasoned flour; shaking off the excess.
• Heat a large saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is nice and hot, lay the pork chops in the pan in a single layer and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the pan and add a little sprinkle of seasoned flour to the pan drippings. Mix the flour into the fat to dissolve and then pour in the chicken broth in. Let the liquid cook down for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly. Stir in the buttermilk to make a creamy gravy and return the pork chops to the pan, covering them with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet with a lid, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through but not crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside to cool. Chop into small pieces.
• Sear the pork chops until browned on each side.
• Place the pork chops, bacon, onion, and potato slices into the skillet, and pour the water over the ingredients. Cover the skillet, bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce the heat, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

Steps:

• Rinse the pork chops and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salt and pepper over chops, then dredge in flour to lightly coat. Reserve the remaining flour.
• In large, deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add two of the pork chops and cook, turning once until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to a plate. Repeat with remaining chops.
• Add onions and garlic to the fat in the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and add reserved flour. Cook, stirring, until it begins to brown, about 8 minutes.
• In a small bowl combine the stock, water, Worcestershire, vinegar, mustard, molasses and allspice. Add to pan and stir until well incorporated. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Return the pork chops and their accumulated juices to the pan.
• Cover and simmer until the chops are very tender, about 45 minutes, turning the chops halfway through cooking. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and saute until fragrant. Season pork chops with salt and pepper, then fry them in the skillet just until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops to a baking pan or Dutch oven.
• Pour the mushrooms into the skillet with the pork drippings and garlic, and stir in the sherry and beef broth, scraping any bits of pork that are stuck to the pan. Bring to a boil, then pour over the pork chops in the baking pan. Cover with a lid, or aluminum foil.
• Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove the lid or foil, and continue to bake for another 15 minutes. Remove the chops from the pan to a serving platter, and place the dish on the stove over medium heat. Stir together the cornstarch and water. When the juices in the pan come to a boil, slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon sauce over the chops, and serve.

Steps:

• Season the 8 pork chops with the seasoned salt and ground pepper; flour the pork chops on both sides.
• In large iron skillet, heat up shorting until very hot. Reduce heat to medium. Place prepared pork chops into skillet and fry until a dark golden brown on both sides.
• Drain all grease from skillet except one tablespoon. Add 4 cups of warm water; cover with lid and simmer until a thick gravy forms. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
