Sumptuous Southern-style Smothered Pork Chops
Prep Time20 Minutes
Servings4
Cook Time80 Minutes
Ingredients
1/3 cup + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour (divided)
1/2 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste (be generous)
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground sage
1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper
4 large, about 1-inch thick, bone-in pork chops
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup sour cream
Directions
- Combine 1/3 cup flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, sage and cayenne on a wide plate. Set out a 13- x 9-inch casserole. Pat pork chops dry with paper towel. Preheat oven to 325 F.
- Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour mixture. Pour oil into a very large skillet set over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, sear the chops, in two batches, if needed, until richly browned, about three minutes per side. Set the seared chops in a single or slightly over-lapping layer in the casserole.
- Place stock and remaining 2 Tbsp flour in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Drain the oil/fat from the skillet you seared the chops in, and then set back over medium-high heat. Pour the stock/flour mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the sour cream, and then pour this sauce mixture over the chops. Cover with foil and bake chops 75 minutes, or until very tender. Serve the pork chops with the sauce spooned over the top.
