Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well: Before cooking, season the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Sear the pork chops: Searing the pork chops in a hot skillet will help to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices. Be sure to sear the pork chops for a few minutes per side, or until they are browned.
  • Simmer the pork chops: After searing, simmer the pork chops in a flavorful sauce. This could be a simple sauce made with chicken broth and herbs, or a more complex sauce made with tomatoes, onions, and peppers. Simmer the pork chops for at least 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides: Smothered pork chops are traditionally served with grits, but they can also be served with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Smothered pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your smothered pork chops are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Serve them with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
