Southern Pork Chops with Tomato Gravy

Introduction

Tomato gravy over pork chops is a true Southern comfort dish that brings together crispy, golden-brown pork chops and a tangy, savory tomato-based gravy. The juicy chops soak up all the flavor from the skillet, while the gravy—made with onions, garlic, and tomatoes—adds just the right balance of richness and acidity. Served with mashed potatoes, rice, or warm cornbread, this hearty meal is perfect for Sunday dinner or anytime you’re craving down-home flavor.

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
