Smothered Pork Chops

"This is pure comfort food. I serve this with mashed potatoes to use all the gravy, and a green vegetable. If you want it thicker, you can add some cornstarch mixed with water to the sauce to thicken."

  1. very good. loved the flavor of the sauce. followed everything exactly and i didn't think at all that the brown sugar made it sweet as other's mentioned. so glad i went w/ my gut and followed the recipe to the T. i'll make this again but next time w/ out the mushrooms. taste preference...but sauce is yummy...great recipe! thanks chia! =)
     
  2. Definitely a different taste for chops, which I certainly appreciate as pork is boring me lately. I liked the taste of the sauce although the consistency was very thin. I added a cornstarch slurry to thicken it at the end of the cook time. I also had to drain quite a bit of fat from the sauce. My chops turned out on the tough side so maybe they should've cooked longer to make them more tender. The next time I make this, I think I will try boneless pork and cut it into cubes as it would be easier to serve over the pasta in my opinion. I'll also decrease the chicken broth to 1 1/4 C. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  3. We have white sweet onions that weighs 17 oz each, a bag of yellow strong cooking onions that weigh 4 oz each, and another bag of yellow cooking onions that weigh 6 oz each.<br/><br/>What type of onion is used in this recipe and what total weight of onions used in the recipe?
     
  4. Excellent! Imade the recipe as directed using 2 boneless pork choops. It made a ton of really nice gravy.
     
  5. Wow, it truly is a surprise of a dish! Thank you for this, Gail Ann - it's a recipe that will be made for many years to come. I made it with four chops but otherwise followed just as written and it was perfectly savory. It was so good in fact, that my husband said he needs the recipe to bring to the firehouse. He takes very few recipes to work so you know this is a keeper.

  1. Really enjoyed this recipe. Followed recipe fairly close, except I added abit more mushrooms and substituted yogurt for the heavy cream. I also wanted to use the sauce for gravy on the potatoes so, not only did I add cornstartch to original sauce mix, I added/sauted more flour/bisto to cooked sauce along with more worchestershire to our taste.
