4 pork chops or 4 pork steaks, 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup, condensed
1 (7/8 ounce) package brown gravy mix, dry
1 (7/8 ounce) package pork gravy mix, dry
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large sweet onion, sliced 1/4-inch thick and separated into rounds
2 garlic cloves, chopped fine

Steps:

1. In a medium bowl, thoroughly blend condensed soup (Do NOT add any water), dry gravy mixes, salt and pepper. Fill one soup can 3/4 full of water and whisk into mixture. Mixture will be very thick. Set aside.
2. Sear chops on each side in 1-2 tablespoons of hot oil. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Add one more tablespoon oil, if necessary, to pan.
4. Saute onion over medium-low heat until translucent, but crisp/tender - about 5-8 minutes. Stir frequently. Do not allow onions to brown.
5. Add garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Do not brown.
6. Remove pan from heat.
7. Fold onion/garlic mixture into soup mixture.
8. Return chops to frying pan.
9. Pour soup/onion mixture evenly over chops.
10. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
11. Lower temperature and simmer gently for 45 minutes to one hour.
12. Thinner chops will take about 45 minutes to become really tender.
