About This Recipe:
Having a bad day? We’ve all been there, but what you need are these insanely easy and delicious smothered pork chops. These pork chops on top of a mountain of creamy mashed potatoes are Southern comfort food at its finest. All it takes is a few everyday ingredients, and 30 minutes max to make this dish. You can use either buttermilk, heavy cream, or regular milk in the gravy- just use whatever you have. I like extraaa sauce to coat my mashed potatoes with, so this recipe makes quite a bit of gravy.
Enjoy!
