Receta Smothered Porkchops #WeekdaySupper
Seasoned pork chops smothered in a flavorful onion gravy served over a bed of rice or mashed potatoes, Smothered Pork Chops are pure comfort food in the middle of the week that don't take too long to throw together.
Today's post is a part of #WeekdaySupper. Serving up recipes that take little time in the kitchen after a busy weekeday.
Traditionally, from what I have read on the web anyway, Smothered Pork Chops are served over rice. Grumpy and I aren't much on rice, so I served ours with mashed potatoes. I also used a thicker cut boneless pork chop, next time, I would likely go with a bone in thinner cut so if you do make this recipe, I do recommend that is what you do. The thicker cut chops, in my opinion and after this experience, would probably be better for a stuffed chop, rather than a smothered one.
