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.
