TENDER PORK CHOPS IN GRAVY



Tender Pork Chops in Gravy image

I'm posting this as a reply to someone who was looking for tender pork chops without using a crock pot. I've had this recipe for so long, probably even before there WERE crock pots! (BTW - this recipe can also be made in a crock pot.)

Provided by Claudia Dawn

Categories     Pork

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 center-cut pork chops
1 (3/4 ounce) package brown gravy mix
1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 ounce) can water
3 -4 potatoes, peeled, cut in half
1/2 onion, sliced, cut in quarters
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Brown pork chops in frying pan. I like to sprinkle with seasoned salt, seasoned pepper and a small amount of garlic salt when browning.
  • Remove from pan and place in casserole dish.
  • Mix brown gravy mix, soup, and water.
  • Place potatoes and onion around pork chops; cover all with gravy mixture.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cover and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender.

Tips for Making the Best Tender Pork Chops in Gravy:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help them stay moist and juicy during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well: Before cooking, season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Sear the pork chops: Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until they are browned on both sides. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent them from drying out.
  • Cook the pork chops in the gravy: After searing the pork chops, add them to a pot or Dutch oven with the gravy. Bring the gravy to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and cook the pork chops for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately: Once the pork chops are cooked through, serve them immediately with the gravy. They can be served with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.

Tender Pork Chops in Gravy is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages.
