Pork Chops in Mushroom Gravy

This is definitely a “keeper”!!  The mushroom gravy is outstanding!  This recipe is for 2 servings but you should be able to double it quite easy.

• 2 (1-inch thick) loin pork chops
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1/2 green pepper, minced
• 6-8 mushrooms, chopped
• 1 cup milk
• Juice of 1/2 lemon

Remove excess fat from edge of chops.  Combine flour, paprika, salt and pepper; dredge chops in mixture.  Set aside remaining flour mixture.  Brown chops in 1 tablespoon oil and remove to shallow casserole.  Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and onion, green pepper, and mushrooms to skillet; saute until soft.  Add reserved flour mixture; cook, stirring, 3 minutes.  Blend in milk and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.  Stir in lemon juice.  Pour sauce over chops; cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.  Remove cover and bake 10 more minutes.  (I didn’t do this.)

Yield:  2 servings
