Pork Chops and Gravy

Submitted by Laura O.

"Very simple pork chop recipe that turns out pretty tasty - nice creamy white country-style gravy. The recipe calls for bone-in chops, but my boneless chops worked just fine. The bone-in ones probably give you a little more flavor - I did have to add salt in the last step. You could probably halve the seasoned flour mix ingredients - I had alot left over after dredging the chops. I got this from the e-cookbooks.net site."

First of all I'm pleased to be the first to rate this recipe. I made this on 2/26/08 for mine and my SO's dinner.As you suggested in the description, I cut the seasoned flour ingredients in half.I also used boneless chops. Instead of using olive oil to brown the chops I used the same amount of vegetable shortening.After frying the chops (Which by the way,they turned out great ). I did use some of the flour to make the gravy,but with the flour being seasoned it was just way too spicy hot for me.If I make this again, I'm just going to use flour without the added seasonings for the gravy.Adding the pork to the gravy and letting them simmer sure made them very tender.Thank you so much for posting,and "Keep Smiling :)"
