Yummy Smothered Pork Chops

OK, ok, we missed the month of September. The whole month... But for good reason! Mini started Middle School (6th grade to be exact), and it has been a challenge. The school is bigger, there is more work, no recess (she hates this), she has to change classes and she has a locker. A lot of change for us! But we are back with a great new recipe for you to try and hopefully love as much as we do!

Ingredients:
Bone-in Pork Chops (I would use about 4 pork chops)
1 packaged sliced Mushrooms
1 can Chicken Broth
Milk
Minced Garlic
Flour
Salt
Pepper

Season your pork chops with salt & pepper to your liking, and brown both sides, do not cook them completely, because you want them to cook in your gravy/sauce. Once both sides of all the pork chops are browned, you want to set them aside in a plate. Do not be alarmed if you see the juices flowing from the pork chops. That's what it should look like.
Then, in the same pan you want to add about a spoon full of minced garlic and your mushrooms, You'll cook the mushrooms until they are brown and there is less liquid coming from them (you'll see juices coming from them while they cook). Next, sprinkle flour over them, you just want to cover the mushrooms with the flour (do not add too much) and stir it all together, let them cook for a few minutes. Next you will add the can of chicken broth, fill the can with milk and add that as well (I told you a long time ago, I do not really use measurements). Stir it all together and let that boil a bit. Once boiled, you want to add the pork chops and all its juices, salt and pepper then give it another good stir. Cover that and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes stirring every now & then. Make sure your pork chops are completely cooked, so if you still see red coming from the pork chops, cook it a bit longer.
We usually have this with white rice and it is DELICIOUS! And there you have it!
Bon Appetit!
