Here’s a classic Southern Pork Chops and Gravy recipe that’s tender, flavorful, and comforting:

Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the Pork Chops:

•4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
•1 tsp garlic powder
•1 tsp onion powder
•1 tsp paprika
•1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
•Salt and pepper, to taste
•1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•3 tbsp vegetable oil or bacon grease

For the Gravy:
•2 tbsp all-purpose flour
•2 cups chicken broth (or water with 1 bouillon cube)
•1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
•Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Season the Pork Chops:

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper.

2. Dredge in Flour:

Place the flour on a plate. Lightly dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the flour for the gravy.

3. Cook the Pork Chops:

Heat the oil or bacon grease in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside on a plate.

4. Make the Gravy:

Lower the heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour to the skillet and whisk it into the drippings, cooking for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Slowly add the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Stir in the milk or cream and let the gravy simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Simmer the Pork Chops:

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Cover and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).

6. Serve:

Serve the pork chops smothered in gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
