Tender Braised Pork Chops with Country Gravy is an easy pork chop recipe worthy of being called comfort food! Serve them up with skillet fried potatoes and brussels sprouts for a satisfying warm you up meal!
This recipe is super easy and is one that will satisfy your hunger and bring you that homey feeling! Pork chops are a great go-to for quick and easy meals during those busy weeknights also!
Grilling them is one of my favorite ways of cooking them in the warmer weather and it is comforting to know that the USDA lowered the cooking temperature for pork to 145 degrees which means you can have a juicier chop with less cooking time!
When it comes to braising, however, you usually are cooking your pork for a longer time. Still, even if braising, this is a meal that can be done in a reasonable amount of time if you’re cooking this on a weeknight (about an hour).
The pork in this recipe comes out so tender and flavorful and the braising gravy is out of this world yummy! It is excellent served over top of some pan-fried potatoes also!

The pork chops look so delicious and I am cracking up over you teasing Grumpy about dinner.
Thank you so much for the wonderful things you said about me! I always look forward to your comments and you always brighten my day! I’m so glad we have “met”!

This is really cute! I’ll have to get on this meme!
Jennifer Ludgin says
Nice that you put the pts value on this 🙂 I’m not a huge pork person…but I wonder if this would be good with chicken?? Thanks for the recipe! 🙂

The pork looks great – a warming supper, just what we need at this time of year.
I love the idea of the Meme and I really enjoyed your answers and invitation to join in. A funny one really though because even though I get lots of traffic (probably for the recipes & galleries) I actually have minimal comments in the blogs – the stats are great so I normally just content myself with this…..I'd rather have real people than numbers though!! (heehee!) Fiona
Veronica says
I love a “light” recipe that doesn’t look light! This looks so delicious!
Barbara Bakes says
The pork chop recipe does sound like a keeper. You’re so good to Grumpy!

The pork chop dish is from Cooking Light so what’s not to love there. I’m sure that Grumpy enjoyed it with a side of potatoes. I did this MEME as well…I will have to check out some of those I have never heard of before until today.Blogging is great like that:D
Reeni says
The Pork chops look fabulous! I bet Grumpy was not so grumpy after dinner!
Laurie says
What a great pork chop recipe! It looks totally yummy and just right for these chillier nights.
Loved the meme. It’s so fun to discover new food bloggers.
Pam says
I love comfort food and what’s more comforting than pork chops and gravy? Great recipe – especially since it’s not full of fat.
averagebetty says
Yum! Love that country gravy!
Michele says
Thanks for the tag! I’ll be sure to do it this weekend. 🙂
I switch food around on Phil all of the time. Even tonight. He thought he was getting greek chicken and I made baked corn dogs and fries instead. He actually got pretty excited when he found out he was getting corn dogs. It almost scares me.
Your lightened up chops turned out beautiful. I’ll have to surprise the man with them one night.
noble pig says
That gravy makes that chop. Works to keep it moist.
I’m sure grumpy was happy.
Lisa says
You have some good looking chops.

I just recently starting blogging and came across your blog while visiting another blog. You had me with that gorgeous photo of the pie at the top of your blog. It makes me want a piece of pie NOW!
Your pork chop recipe looks very good easy to make. Since I’m Martha challenged, easy is an important factor. I’m going to give it a try next week.

Great recipe and what a fun MEME. HoneyB I enjoyed reading all the nice things you have said about the other bloggers. You have the gift of encouragement and you are very generous with your kindness. I have benefitted greatly from your thoughtfulness with your promotion of my own blog on Stumble Upon. You have put my blog on the map! Your kindness is appreciated!
Sophie says
A light recipe for pork chops and gravy, now that’s definitely a keeper :).
Cami @ Creating Myself says
Awww, you're so sweet! Your answers touched me…I even teared up when I read how I've teared you up. Thanks for being there for me!
I'm proud to be your friend too Shelby…how could a Grouchy's Honey & a Grumpy's HoneyBunch not become friends! ;o)
Debbie says
What a neat meme! I’m ready to go look at their blogs too.
I need some cooking light recipes and pork chops are one of my favorite. I can’t wait to try it.
Annie says
Hey HoneyB, I have also tagged you for a meme! The details are on my blog, please come and play!
Foong says
That’s like a dream recipe. Simple, fast to prepare, tasty and importantly, light too!
The Food Critic at home is not much of a meat person. Too much meat and we’d stay off it for a while and eat loads of chicken instead so I don’t even know when I’ll be able to try this.
Marthe says
I almost never eat pork chops, but these look absolutely delicious!!
Julia says
This looks like a great weekday recipe that the boy in my family will devour. I love that you posted the calories and point values. Thank you!

Love that milk gravy smothering these pork chops. I would add some biscuits to this meal for sopping it all up. YUM

Reminds me of dinners at Nana’s house. Looks so good!!
