Pork Chops Smothered in Onion Gravy image

This recipe calls for 4 pork chops because that's about what you can fit into a standard frying pan, though I've squeezed 6 smaller chops in before. I recommend you double the recipe because my husband eats them two at a time. Serve the smothered pork chops over cooked rice with your favorite vegetable side dish and cornbread.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons seasoned salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

½ cup self-rising flour
