Southern Pork Chops with Tomato Gravy

ADVERTISEMENT

  • Serve immediately with classic Southern sides like green beans, collard greens, or buttered cornbread.

  • Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth to keep the gravy smooth.

Variations

  • Spicy Tomato Gravy: Add crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

  • Smoky Flavor: Stir in a bit of smoked paprika or use fire-roasted tomatoes.

  • Creamy Version: Add a splash of heavy cream at the end for a rich, velvety tomato cream sauce.

  • Vegetable Boost: Add bell peppers, celery, or mushrooms to the gravy for extra flavor.

FAQ

Can I use canned tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes?
Yes—substitute with one 15 oz can of tomato sauce for a smoother gravy.

Do I have to pan-fry the pork chops?
No, you can bake them first, but pan-frying gives better drippings for the gravy.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, both the pork chops and tomato gravy can be made ahead and stored separately, then reheated together before serving.
