Pork Chops Cooked in Gravy with Noodles

This is very easy.  While the pork chops simmer, cook the noodles.  It makes a lovely dinner on a rainy, Texas evening!  You can also bake this recipe in the oven, if you do not have time to stand over it.  Just remember that it will take about 30 to 45 minutes to thicken the gravy.

1 pound of Breakfast Cut Pork Chops, (very thin)
3 Tablespoons of Sepay Groves Olive Oil
1/4 cup of flour
2 cups of water
Salt and pepper

Season pork chops with salt and pepper then dredge in flour.  Reserve the flour.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.  Working in batches, if necessary, brown pork chops.  Remove pork chops from skillet and reduce heat to very low. Add reserved flour.  Allow flour to combine with oil and cook.  This browns the flour and makes a roux.  Stir constantly. Cook flour and oil for 5 minutes. Do not let the flour burn.  Add water, return heat to low, and allow to return to a simmer. Arrange pork chops so that all are at least partially submerged in the the gravy.  (This the point where you can place in a 350 degree oven and cook.Make sure that your pan is oven proof.) Allow to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the gravy thickens.  Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning, if needed. If the gravy gets too thick, too soon, add additional water.  You do not want the gravy to scorch.  Serve with boiled noodles and southern style greens.

Enjoy!
