Tempt Your Tummy Tuesday: Onion Gravy Pork Chops

This wasn't the prettiest recipe to photograph, but it was super tasty, especially served with a side of mashed potatoes.  Onion gravy pork chops is a perfect recipe for a pantry challenge (like the one I did last month).  It's easy to make, takes only a couple of inexpensive ingredients, and they taste delicious.  I plan to try this recipe with hamburger patties, and maybe chicken breasts as well.  Here's how you can make your own...

Pork Chops (I used ones that I de-boned and trimmed myself, about 1/4-1/2" thick
Salt and Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
1/4 c Flour
2 Tbsp Butter (I have used olive oil, but butter gives it a richer flavor)
2 c Chicken Broth
2 Yellow Onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves Minced Garlic (I used the jar minced, about 1 tsp)
Worcestershire Sauce

1.) Mix Flour, Salt, Pepper, and Cayenne.  Trim your pork chops and roll them in the flour to coat, shake off the excess.
2.) Melt butter over medium high heat and brown your pork chops about 3 minutes per side, remove to a plate.
3.) Add onions to skillet and saute until softened.  Add your garlic to the skillet and cook a minute longer.
4.) Push the onions to the outside edge, add the pork chops back into the middle of the skillet, along with the chicken broth.  Add a couple splashes of Worcestershire sauce on top.  
5.) Cover and cook until pork chops are done, this will depend on the thickness of your chops.  Mine took about 20 minutes.  Once they are cooked through, make a water/flour thickener for your broth.  Whisk it in and let it all cook another few minutes uncovered until the gravy has thickened.  
Serve with rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes, and a steamed vegetable, and you have a delicious, cheap, and easy dinner!  Refrigerate any leftovers.  Enjoy!

  1. Tempt your tummy is the perfect timing. I just finished a late lunch and this has my tummy growling. I might have to give this recipe a try.
