"This is the same recipe my grandma used to cook. Nothing fancy about it. No exotic ingredients. I updated it by using cooking spray instead of shortening but otherwise, it is the same. Just plain old down home comfort food. Sure is good with rice or mashed potatoes."

Questions & Replies

How thick does the pork chop have to be for frying this?!?! I don't want to saturate the pan with oil because I will want to try and save the drippings for the gravy; however, I am kind of weary/skeptical of how much oil I need to use..? Thanks if you can help.

Sauce is delicious. I added sliced mushrooms to the onions. Also, I used pork tenderloin sliced lengthwise to the size I wanted as this cut of pork is more tender than chops. Sandy Andrew

What do you do with pork chops? Try this recipe! Easy, tender and delish chops. I added chipotle chili pepper gave a smokey taste. The base is here for many different tastes. Going to try bell pepper or peas. Thanks Sandy for a very practical recipe.
