Paula Deen's Smother Porchops

The hubby & I were watching Paul Deen yesterday and that woman KNOWS she can cook! She doesn't skimp on the butter at all! lol! Gotta love that woman!

So yesterday she was making smothered porkchops and decided that's what we wanted for dinner. So we hopped in the car and went right to Piggly Wiggly. Does anyone else have a Piggly Wiggly? They were actually America's first self service grocery store! back in the day, you would give your grocery list to a store clerk and they would gather the items for you. In 1916, the first Piggly Wiggly opened and they had baskets available for customers to shop themselves. They actually have quote an interesting story. 

Anyways, I digress...

So here are the ingredients:

• 4 center-cut pork chops, 1-inch thick
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Ground cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, spread on a plate
• 2 medium green bell peppers, stemmed, cored, and membranes removed, cut into strips
• 2 yellow onions, trimmed, cut lengthwise
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 to 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

Trim the excess fat from the chops and season well with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly roll the chops in flour, shake off the excess, and slip them into the pan. Brown well, about 3 minutes per side, and remove them to a plate.

Add the bell peppers and onions, to the skillet, and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about half a minute longer. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet. Add chops to pan and place vegetables on top of pork chops. 

Pour in the broth and sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce. Cover pan with foil and allow to simmer for 45 minutes or until chops are tender.

And then voila... SO GOOD y'all! You must try this recipe!

Don't judge me for using paper plates! I didn't feel like washing dishes. 

So what are everyone's plans for Labor Day weekend? My sister-in-law is turning 30 so we are having a dinner tonight, a party tomorrow, & a bbq Sunday. And I have a photoshoot Saturday morning. I am SO sleeping in Monday. Everyone have fun & be safe!
