Using boneless pork chops these Fried Smothered Pork Chops make a hearty delicious quick supper when served with rice or my pan fried baby potatoes.
These pork chops stay really moist covered in the gravy and I love to use boneless thin chops so that they cook up fast! The seasoned flour on them has so much flavor – it does call for cayenne paper but you can totally cut back the rate! But add at least a dash or pinch so that you get that background flavor in your gravy!
I also love to use vegetable oil and butter when frying – the vegetable oil gives the butter just a little bit higher cooking temperature and well the butter just makes sense for that amazing butter flavor!
Fried Smothered Pork Chops
Pork chops are one of our favorite go to meats. They cook fairly quickly when they are thin cut, easy to grill, fry or bake. Pair nicely with about any side dish you can think of, cold or warm. Pork chops are versatile also with lots of ways to flavor them.
It just occurred to me that if you served this pork chop along with pan fried baby potatoes and a couple of eggs over easy it would make a fabulous weekend brunch meal!!

You know it’s good when there’s gravy involved! This is one of our favorite meals.
What if you don’t have buttermilk? Is there a replacement that can be used?
I apologize for just now getting back to you! You can make a buttermilk substitute using milk and lemon juice or vinegar – 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar than add enough milk to make 1 cup, allow to stand for 5 minutes, then use as buttermilk!
