Questions & Replies

  1. Am I missing something here? You just fry the pork chops and then make a gravy to put over them? I don't see how putting gravy on fried pork chops makes them so tender that you can eat them without dentures.

  1. 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.
     
  2. my husband loved this, as did the rest of the family. we are glutons - and really like our gravy - so i combined the 4 cups of water with about 1/2 cup of the leftover seasoned flour (to make a slurry) and proceeded with the recipe as written.
     
  3. loved it had alot of flavor but, I didnt do tooo good on the gravy ended up adding some cornstarch to thicken up the water. My husband moved it up on the "If you make" list.
     
  4. This is how my husband's aunt use to fix her pork chops. The first time I had water gravy(That's what she called it) was at her house. Prepared this way the porkchops were very moist and the gravy was very flavorful. Thanks Chef#164810
