Smothered Pork Chops

This is one of my favorite dishes. Do I keep saying that? I guess I might, I have about 100 different favorite dishes!  But I promise you will absolutely love it. This recipe is based on a recipe of the Nealys from the Food Network. I made a few changes, but the credit is all theirs! This dish has a little kick to it, if you’re not into spicy food, please omit the hot sauce!

What you’ll need:

6 pork chops
1 cup flour
2 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp paprika
1 onion, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup sour cream
3 tsp hot sauce
salt and pepper
peanut oil

​

Combine the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne and paprika. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture on both sides. Heat peanut oil in a Dutch Oven or large sauce pan and fry the pork chops on both sides until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
​
Add the onions to the pot and saute for about one minute. Add 3 tbsp of the flour mixture to the onions and stir until you create a nice roux. Slowly add the chicken broth, whisking to eliminate any lumps. Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat to simmer. Stir occasionally while reducing and thickening the mixture. Add sour cream and hot sauce. Return the pork chops to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium/low and simmer for 15 minutes. This dish is best served with mashed potatoes!Bon Apetit!

Hello there, fellow foodies! My name is Erica, I was born and raised in Germany, and moved to the US, New York City to be exact, in July of 1987. I have worked most of my time here in the Big Apple as a bartender, but my true love is food. I cook just about every day, I search for good food everywhere, and pretty much always find it. I don't consider myself a food critic, I don't have the culinary background for that kind of expertise. I do however know good food, good chefs and good restaurants. I report back about my culinary adventures, and I choose to leave out my unsatisfactory experiences. We have enough negativity in our daily lives, I don't want to add to that. All the recipes in my FROM MY KITCHEN and DOTW blogs are cooked and prepared by me. All pictures are taken by me. I don't always eat everything you see in my pictures, but you bet your buns, I do try everything. Last but not least, you should know that I am a huge Top Chef fan. I have never missed an episode of the Bravo TV show. I have at this point visited almost 20 restaurants run by Top Chef contestants, and I'm continuously impressed by their skill, drive and passion. So I will continue to seek them out, and I hope you join me in my journey!
