I chopped up about 1/2 of a medium onion and added it to the oil that I browned the chops in. I then made a basic roux using the oil and adding flour, salt & pepper. I poured hot water into the roux while whisking. I put the chops back into the pan, making sure the liquid completely covered the chops. I put a lid on it and put it into a 375° oven and baked it for about 1/12 hours. The pork chops were falling apart tender and the gravy was yummy served over rice. This recipe is a definite keeper and I'll certainly use it again.
