Smothered Comfort

Other than a steak on the grill, I think there's nothing that a man loves more than a hunk of meat smothered in gravy. It doesn't really matter what kind of meat it is, if gravy is involved. Frankly, I find the word "smothered" downright comforting when it comes to food. I know that there's something tender and delish underneath all that gravy. Making gravy is a quick, inexpensive way to add a little something extra to your meal.

I've smothered boneless chicken, cubed steak, cubed pork steaks, and hamburger steak. It's all good and you can bump up the flavor by using chicken or beef broth. I know a lot of people think homemade gravy is difficult, but it's so simple.

Ingredients: 

Boneless Pork Chops
Seasoning Salt
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Black Pepper
Flour for dedging, plus more for gravy
3 1/2 cups of Chicken Broth
3/4 cup of Olive Oil
Thinly Sliced Onion (Optional)

Season pork chops to taste, both sides. 

  Dredge in flour, shake off excess. Reserve remaining flour for gravy.

Brown the on both sides over medium heat. 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towel. Set aside.

Meanwhile, stir in the flour until  it's fully blended and smooth. 

Stir until you get your desired color.

 Stir in the broth

It's that simple.

Taste, adjust your seasonings. Remember you can always add, but you can't take away.

Add the chops to the gravy.

Coat them in the gravy, and top with sliced onions (if desired) 

 and simmer over medium low heat for 20-30 minutes. 

Serve with rice or potatoes to soak up that golden goodness...Enjoy!
