The key to making the perfect smothered pork chops lies in the seasoning and the slow cooking process. Many recipes call for a blend of spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper to season the pork chops before they are seared. The searing process not only locks in the flavor and juices of the pork chops but also creates a beautiful golden crust. Once the pork chops are seared, they are then simmered in a thick and savory gravy made from a combination of onions, garlic, broth, and flour. This results in a dish that is both hearty and comforting, perfect for serving alongside mashed potatoes or rice.
