Directions
1. This recipe calls for 4 pork chops because that's about what you can fit into a standard
frying pan. 1 recommend you double the recipe because smothered pork chops are so
delicious that you will definitely want to eat left overs
2. Start off by giving your pork chops a good rinsing in cold water. Next pat your pork
chops dry with paper towels and set aside.
3. in a small bowl form your seasoning mixture by combining and mixing together
seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper and paprika.
4. Rub about 3/4 teaspoon of seasoning on each pork chop. Next thoroughly coat each
piece of meat with flour and set aside. Save all leftover seasoning for later use in onion
gravy.
5. Heat vegetable oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot
enough add pork chops and brown on each side for about three minutes. Once your meat
is browned remove it from the skillet and allow to cool on a plate covered with paper
towels.
6. Now it's time to form the onion gravy. Without removing any dripping add sliced
onions to the skillet and cook until browned. Add remaining flour to the skillet and a very
small amount of water if necessary. Stir the onions and flour together until golden brown,
paying careful attention not to bum the gravy.
7. Add two cups water to the onion gravy and stir. Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
Return pork chops to skillet, reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for about 1 hour. The
meat is done when it’s tender. Add additional season to taste if necessary.
