The best way to eat a chop is with an abundance of sauce, and trust me when I say this recipe does not skimp on the gravy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you LOVE pork and you\u2019re always on the hunt for a lip-smacking meal, then this smothered pork chops recipe is for you! Serve them next to <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/crispy-garlic-roasted-potatoes\/\">roasted crispy potatoes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/sauteed-green-bean-recipe\/\">green beans<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/5-minute-sugar-snap-peas\/\">quick snap peas<\/a> for a splash of green. If you don\u2019t want to leave anything to waste, soak up the remaining sauce with a simple dinner roll.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-ingredients\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bone-In Pork Chops:<\/strong> Look for chops with a good amount of marbling. That&#8217;s exactly what makes both this recipe and my <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/pork-chops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pork chops with creamy mushroom sauce<\/a> so juicy. The fat keeps the meat tender as it cooks. Choose chops that are about 3\/4 to 1-inch thick so they cook evenly, and definitely don&#8217;t skip the bone because it adds so much flavor to the pan!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Buttermilk or Heavy Cream:<\/strong> Buttermilk adds a slight tang to balance the richness, while heavy cream keeps the gravy thick and creamy. I&#8217;ve tried making this with regular milk before, but the gravy ends up too thin. Stick to full-fat heavy cream or buttermilk for the best results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh Thyme:<\/strong> This brings a fragrant, earthy flavor straight to the gravy. If you are out of fresh thyme, you can substitute it with dried thyme, but fresh herbs really make the sauce pop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic and Onion Powder:<\/strong> These pantry staples create the seasoning crust on the meat. They build a deep, savory base flavor that eventually cooks right into the onion gravy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong>\u00a0Please see <a href=\"#wprm-recipe-container-69753\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#wprm-recipe-container-69753\">Recipe Card<\/a> at the bottom for a full list of ingredients and measurements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-additions-and-substitutions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additions And Substitutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love how adaptable this southern smothered pork chops recipe is. Even if you don\u2019t have every ingredient on hand, do not worry. There are plenty of delicious alternatives that will keep this pure comfort food rich and satisfying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Add Mushrooms:<\/strong> <strong>Saut\u00e9<\/strong> some sliced mushrooms in your <strong>heavy skillet<\/strong> along with the yellow onions to add more flavor to the dish. Or you can just pair it with my <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/roasted-mushrooms\/\">roasted mushrooms<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use Fresh Herbs:<\/strong> While fresh thyme is fantastic, you can also experiment with other herbs like rosemary or sage. They bring a great taste to the creamy gravy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Incorporate Vegetables:<\/strong> Feel free to add a vegetable like bell peppers, spinach, or peas right into the pan. You can also pair these chops with some <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/honey-roasted-butternut-squash-brussels-sprouts\/\">roasted brussels sprout<\/a>s for a pop of color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spice it Up:<\/strong> If you like a bit of heat, add extra black pepper, a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a dash of hot sauce. It adds a nice kick without overwhelming the meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-how-do-you-make-smothered-pork-chops\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Make Smothered Pork Chops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Season bone-in pork chops or boneless pork chops and dredge each in all-purpose flour. Keep about 1-2 tablespoons of the excess flour to use later in the gravy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fry the chops in neutral oil and butter to get the best, golden brown coating and flavor. If they don\u2019t all fit in your skillet to cook them in a single layer, <strong>you will need to cook them in batches<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remove the chops from the pan and tent with foil to keep warm so you can make your onion gravy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Best-Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-2.jpg\" alt=\"image of Breaded, seared bone-less pork chops on a white plate.\" class=\"wp-image-69762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Best-Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Best-Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-2-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Best-Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Best-Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Best-Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Best-Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-onion-gravy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Onion Gravy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saut\u00e9 onion slices until soft and caramelized. This takes about 10 minutes. If the pan becomes too dry, add in about 1 tablespoon of chicken broth. Add garlic, thyme and 1 tablespoon of the remaining flour to the pan. Stir and cook the flour in the pan to toast it and dissolve it (This ensures your gravy doesn\u2019t have a floury aftertaste).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pour in about 1 1\/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan = FLAVOR! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whisk in the buttermilk or heavy cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Note<\/strong>: If you don\u2019t have buttermilk, mix \u00be cup of whole milk with 3 teaspoons of white vinegar and let the mixture sour for 5 minutes so it looks a bit curdled<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simmer and return your tender pork chops to the pan, then SMOTHER them in the sauce and let it all simmer together until the pork is completely cooked through and the gravy is beautifully thickened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-55-1.jpg\" alt=\"Smothered Pork Chops\" class=\"wp-image-173940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-55-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-55-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-55-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-55-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-55-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-55-1-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Smothered-Pork-Chops-IMAGE-55-1-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-denary-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-recipe-tips\">Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>For Boneless Pork Chops:<\/strong> Reduce your searing time to about 2 minutes per side and finish cooking them in the sauce. Be very careful not to overcook or dry out your pork chops as they become tough and chewy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preventing Burnt Butter:<\/strong> I always fry my chops in a mix of butter and a neutral oil, like canola oil. The oil helps raise the smoke point so your butter does not burn in the pan while you get that beautiful crust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gluten-Free Option:<\/strong> If you need to adapt this, you can easily swap the regular flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend to thicken the gravy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-what-sides-go-with-pork-chops\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Sides Go With Pork Chops?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/easy-buttermilk-cornbread\/\">Cornbread<\/a> is always a tasty pairing with anything that features pork. Or a crusty French baguette or a slice of my <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/artisan-bread-recipe\/\">artisan bread<\/a> for a milder flavor. Add a cooked green veggie like <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/sauteed-green-bean-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buttery saut\u00e9ed green beans<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/garlic-browned-butter-baked-asparagus\/\">baked asparagus<\/a> to your plate, and dinner is served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-wine-goes-with-pork\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Wine Goes With Pork?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though pork is a mild protein, smothered pork chops in this rich onion gravy call for a bold-flavored wine. Try a Pinot Noir to refresh your palate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1787814323042\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What Is The Best Way To Cook A Pork Chop So It&#8217;s Tender?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I always find that a quick pan-fry followed by a gentle simmer in the gravy is the best method. The initial sear gives you a great crust, while simmering in the sauce ensures the meat stays juicy and soft without drying out.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1787814448313\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How Long Do Smothered Pork Chops Take To Cook?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It usually takes about 25 to 30 minutes from start to finish. You will spend a few minutes searing the chops on each side, then about 10 minutes caramelizing the onions for the gravy, and finally simmering everything together for another 5 to 10 minutes until the pork is cooked through.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1787814457411\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What Do I Season Smothered Pork Chops With?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I keep it simple but effective. A mix of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper is perfect for the crust. Fresh thyme is my favorite herb to add directly into the gravy for a savory finish.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\"
