How do I cook pork chops?

richard, if you saute 1-2 sliced celery ribs and 1/2 c of cut up onions, you'll have my moms' recipe for smothered pork chops

LOL, stupid man question again.

Do you take the chops out, sautee the veggies and serve them 'separately'?

LOL, I need more instructions! Thanks!

Again, it isn't pork chops but it's pork. Ever tried Bobby Flay's recipe for pulled pork? It's fabulous! I'll have to look it up because I haven't made it in a while but it's really good!

sorry richard, i wasn't very complete in answering that one. after the pork chops are cooked, place them on a plate at the back of stove top, hold the chops there so they stay warm. saute the onions and celery till tender crispy, mom browns the flour, on low heat, then if the pan drippings are too "thick", she'll add, slowly, so lumps won't form, a little bit of chicken broth (more about that in a minute) ...you can use chicken bullion, but it's too salty for me. when the flour/drippings mix bubbles, stir the pan bringing up any crusty bits from the pan bottom, then put the onion/celery mix in, stir till veggies are coated, place it on top of the chops, and enjoy. i have done a version of this with boneless chicken breasts, and added a large pinch, about 1/2 teaspoon, of poultry seasoning to the gravy as it browns. for the chicken broth...mom taught me to freeze homemade chicken broth in ice cube trays dedicated for this then when frozen, take them out of the trays, put them in a ziplock bag and keep them in the freezer for things like this, where you need a little bit of liquid for a gravy, you nuke 1-2 cubes just till melted, you can use canned chicken broth too.

marinate the chops in:

Blackberry Merlot/Peppercorn dressing/marinade 1/2 bottle
Kikkoman Teriyaki 1/4 bottle
Lea and Perrins Worchestershire a dash
rinsed the bottle of merlot peppercorn with blush wine
sea salt 3 teaspoon


cook them on the grill...he marinated them for about 4 hours

seasoning for grill:
garlic pepper
garlic powder and grilled on medium heat...OMG were they GOOD!

I'm not a big pork fan, but my favorite way to eat them is the way my mom makes them.

Take the pork chops, bone in or boneless, and put them in a baking pan.
Put some ketchup on top, about 2 tablespoons each, then about 1 1/2 tsp. of brown sugar. Slice an onion, and lay rings on the top.

Stick in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes (if thick boneless chops, bake 45-50 minutes).

I love them this way!


The one teacher I work with has the most fantastic recipe for pulled pork. I will post that tomorrow when I have time. It takes a longer time to make, but is soooooooo worth it!
