Smothered Pork Chops
This recipe for smothered pork chops has various different ways that you can make it. This one has actually saved us several different times when we had exhausted all other ideas for dinner. Most all of the ingredients are pretty common in most kitchens, and if you wanted to, you might even get away with making it in a crock pot. Don’t get me wrong, our family loves a good crockpot recipe or meal every now and again. However, because we enjoy spending time in the kitchen, we simply enjoy the process of making a good meal. Which typically occurs on the weekends, but you get the idea. Several cans of this, and a packet of that, and then add a block of cream cheese started to feel too routine for us.
Smothered Pork Chops

Instructions
- In the braiser, sear all the chops on both sides, then removed and set aside.
- Once seared, add the flour, and continue to stir until all the flour has cooked out. (You may need to add a little more oil, or we use bacon fat). Continue to cook until it is nice and runny) We also use beef broth if there is not enough fat. Just continue to add the broth until you have a nice sauce or roux).
- Once you have a nice sauce, add the soy sauce, and the diced tomatoes, and mix.
- Add back the pork chops in the sauce, and make they are nice and cover or at least covered in the sauce.
- Lastly add the pepper, green pepper, red pepper, salt, onion, mushrooms, and green beans, and place on the lid.

This is a great option for our family on the weekends. It comes together rather quickly, and can be served with mash potatoes, bread, and a salad. You can also make it in the crockpot for a weeknight meal, but we like a good sear, so we typically use a braiser. You can also check out Mexican Stew, Hearty Beef Stew, or Creamy Tuna Casserole. All great options, and all easy family meals.
