Smothered Pork Chops

I believe I've mentioned this before, but one of my favorite ways to minister to my family is to cook for them.  I love when we are all sitting at the dinner table with a good meal before us.  The other night I tried out a new recipe and it was delish!  Everyone loved it, even the picky eaters!  It call for peppers and onions, which I left nice and big, that way if you have picky ones, they can just pick them off.  Here is the recipe!
 Low Country Smothered Porkchops
4 center-cut pork chops, 1-inch thick
Salt and pepper
Ground cayenne pepper (optional)
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

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.


I went pretty easy on the cayenne with the kids' chops, but put a nice amount on my husbands and mine, and they were sooooo yummy!
