I must admit, smothered pork chops were something I had not tried before we switched to all real food eating, so I don’t technically know how they are supposed to taste. I do know that this version is really, really good, so while it may not be an exact replica of the not-so-healthy version, it is delicious!

Delicious Smothered Pork Chops!

These smothered pork chops are also a very quick meal and my husband and kids all love it. It came together in less than 30 minutes and only requires one pan to prepare!

    Just had these tonight and I’m still feeling the aftereffects of the meal-gasm they immediately induced. Simply. Amazing. Seriously. I used pork tenderloin because it was on sale, but I’m sure just regular pork chops cooked this way would still be amazing. This recipe is forever saved in my arsenal of yummy meals. Kudos to your creative culinary craftiness. 🙂

    that really sounds good.  I’ve always just made them like my mom did.  dust lightly with flour, brown on both sides, top with 2 sliced onions separated into rings, cover and let cook til pork is done and onions are tender.  Simple easy and pretty healthy except for the white flour which could easily be exchanged for anything. I already use coconut oil for my frying anyway.  We eat with a side of brown rice and steamed broccoli.  I like my broccoli with just a little sea salt and a squeeze of lemon

    Where are we with the challenge?  Is it over?  Is it still going on?  Just haven’t heard much from you about the challenge recently (but I know you’ve had some craziness going on).  Thanks!
