I first learned how to make fried pork chops and gravy from my grandmother. She was a great cook, and she always made the best comfort food. I loved her fried pork chops and gravy, and I would always look forward to eating them when I visited her.

As I got older, I started to make my own fried pork chops and gravy. I experimented with different cooking methods and ingredients, and I eventually found a recipe that I really liked. I now make this dish all the time, and it is always a hit with my family and friends.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, pork chops

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed beef broth

  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.

  2. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture.

  3. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  4. Cook the pork chops in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.

  5. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

  6. Add the onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  7. Add the beef broth and milk to the skillet and bring to a boil.

  8. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.

  9. Return the pork chops to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

  10. Serve immediately.

Tips and Tricks

  • For a crispier crust, pound the pork chops to 1/4-inch thickness before dredging them in the flour mixture.

  • To prevent the pork chops from drying out, cook them over medium heat and don't overcrowd the skillet.

  • If you don't have any beef broth on hand, you can use chicken broth or water.

  • To make a thicker gravy, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the milk before adding it to the skillet.

  • Serve fried pork chops and gravy with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or green beans.
