Smothered Pork Chops With Fried Onion Rings Recipes

SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS WITH FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Season chops with salt, pepper and whatever else you like (I like garlic powder) and brown chops in margarine or butter; drain.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the browned chops in single layer in a glass baking dish.
• Heat the mushroom soup, plus 1/2 a can of water and thyme and mix well.(In the same pan that the chops were browning in- thanks Ms_Bold!).
• When blended, mix in sour cream, parsley, and crushed fried onions (reserve some for sprinkling over the top).
• Pour this mixture over the chops and then sprinkle the remaining reserved onions on top.
• Cover and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees F.
• Remove cover for the last 5 minutes of baking.

PORK CHOPS SMOTHERED IN ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Mix seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika together in a bowl; rub about 3/4 teaspoon spice mixture onto each pork chop. Thoroughly coat each pork chop with flour, saving remaining seasoning and flour for the gravy.
• Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat; cook pork chops in the hot oil until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a plate, retaining drippings in the pan. Cover pork chops with paper towels.
• Cook and stir onion in the drippings in the heavy skillet over medium heat until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Add mushrooms, remaining flour, remaining spice mixture, and about 1 teaspoon water if needed to moisten; cook and stir until onion is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Stir 2 cups water into onion-mushroom mixture until gravy is smooth; bring to a boil. Place pork chops in the gravy, reduce heat, cover skillet, and simmer until pork chops are tender, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
