About

I am always on the look out for new ways to cook pork chops. A couple months back I caught pork chops on sale for .99 lb. So of course I ended up buying a few large packages and stock piling them. Those are the sales I just love stumbling on. Today's recipe comes courtesy of my favorite girl Paula Deen!!! I was watching Paula's Home Cooking and she was making Low Country Smothered Pork Chops. The recipe was so easy to prepare and Paula was cutting the pork chops with a fork in the end. So you know those things had to be so tender. All those peppers and onions looked so divine. I used fresh green bell peppers from our garden. We served our pork chops with mashed potatoes, but i think it would also be great served with rice. It makes a such a wonderful sauce.
