Smothered Pork Chops
I want to start off saying that I could drink this gravy! It was fabulous! This gravy would be great on any chicken dish, salmon patties, biscuits, you name it! This was total comfort food at it's finest! We really enjoyed our dinner!
I love finding new recipes for pork chops and this is 5 stars, 2 thumbs up! The creamy gravy made from heavy whipping cream mixed with chicken broth, smothering the perfectly seasoned pork chops with some fresh veggies in the mix made for a dinner fit for a king or queen! I served this with mashed potatoes topped with the fabulous gravy and we couldn't get enough, making sure to get every drop of gravy off of our plates! I really wish that I had made biscuits with dinner or even hot, buttery dinner rolls! The possibilities are endless! Can you tell that we really loved our dinner?
