Steps:
- Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook onion and garlic in the butter, stirring occasionally, until is browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove onion and garlic and set aside.
- Stir flour slowly into butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until flour is deep brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Gradually stir in broth. Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, and parsley. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper and brown in the hot pan, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Add gravy mixture from the saucepan. Cover and cook over low heat until tender and no longer pink in the centers, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

SOUTHERN STYLE SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS
This recipe starts with bacon and ends with pork chops... it doesn't get any better than bacon, onions and mushrooms slathered over super tender pork chops with gravy. I always serve this with mashed potatoes and of course something green just to round out the meal

SOUTHERN SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS
This is the same recipe my grandma used to cook. Nothing fancy about it. No exotic ingredients. I updated it by using cooking spray instead of shortening but otherwise, it is the same. Just plain old down home comfort food. Sure is good with rice or mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Mix cornstarch and broth until smooth and set aside. Spray a skillet with the cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- Season chops with garlic powder, salt and pepper and cook chops 10 minutes or until well browned on each side. Remove chops and set aside.
- Add the onion and cook over medium heat just until turning translucent but still crisp. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to skillet. Cook until it comes to a boil and thickens, stirring constantly.
- Return chops to pan, cover and cook over low heat for 10-12 minutes or until the chops are done. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops. Bone-in pork chops are more flavorful than boneless, and they will hold up better in the gravy. Look for chops that are about 1 inch thick.
- Season the pork chops well. Before dredging them in flour, season the chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to develop flavor in the chops.
- Use a good quality flour. The type of flour you use will affect the texture of the gravy. All-purpose flour is a good choice, but you can also use bread flour or cake flour for a different texture.
- Brown the pork chops in a hot skillet. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the chops and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Make sure the gravy is thickened properly. The gravy should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it is too thin, add a little more flour or cornstarch. If it is too thick, add a little more broth or water.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, rice, and green beans are all good choices.
