Southern Fried Pork Chops

"This recipe is my nanny's passed to my momma and then to me. I would just watch them in the kitchen as a child. Nothing was really ever measured, just a little of this and that."

  1. I am not good at that getting the external crispy, and at the same time getting the inside cooked to temperature. I used this recipe but after browning the pork chops in a smokin' hot pan, I baked them in the oven at 375 for about 10-12 minutes. They were moist, juicy and wonderful!
     
  2. I tried and liked them. Very simple. The only thing I did differently was first seasoned my chops with garlic and herb McCormick seasoning, then dipped each chop in milk (normally use buttermilk but did have so used 2%) the dredge in flour. Then fried. Served with mash potatoes and brocoli. Super Simple! Thanks for sharing
     
  3. Made for Pick-A-Chef, Spring 2009. Oh did this ever bring back memories of watching my beloved grandma cook her pork chops this very way when I was little. Getting back to the basics was delicious! Thanks for posting and reminding me.
     
  4. This is how we always cooked pork chops (and chicken) when I was growing up. Try using a bit of garlic powder and replace the regular salt with seasoned salt. Also, try sprinkling a little of the seasonings on the chops themselves, in addition to the flour. They are much better that way. Cooking these chops in a heavy cast iron skillet is the key to getting DELICIOUS results!
     
  5. Really liked this. Don't have a lot of luck with pork chops, mine come out dry :( With your recipe they came out tender and very tasty. Thanks for passing along this recipe :)

Hi, I live in Georgia. I love to cook so when I found this site I thought I was in recipe heaven!! I love to collect old cookbooks. I seem to work more than being at home. The meals I cook are quick and easy as well as different. On Sundays, I try to cook a sit down southern meal. Oh yeah, the only thing I "HATE" about cooking is cleaning up!! <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
