FALL-APART TENDER PORK CHOPS
The title of the recipe says it all. I've made this many times for both friends and family and everyone that's tasted it has loved it. You need to use 1" or thicker boneless loin chops. I sometimes double the sauce because its so delicious. I wish I could take credit for this recipe, but its from my favorite cookbook, that will remain nameless since my dog ate the cover and I can't remember the title.

TENDER OVEN BAKED PORK CHOPS
This recipe is foolproof. The pork chops turn out VERY tender. I have tried many other recipes for pork chops in the oven, and I always go back to this tried and true recipe of mine. My husband eats about 3 or 4 chops every time I make it. He also makes sure to tell me to make enough for leftovers. Make sure to buy pork chops with the bone. The bones add more flavor, and the meat is more moist. I would also suggest to NOT buy "thin" cut pork chops. Enjoy!!

Steps:
- Take pork chops and season both sides generously with Lawry's Seasoning Salt and Paula Deen's House Seasoning.
- If you do not have Paula Deen's Seasoning you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of salt with 1/4 cup of pepper and 1/4 cup of garlic powder. You can put it in a shaker bottle and use for up to 6 months.
- Melt 1/4 cup of the margarine in a large frying pan. On medium to medium high heat, brown the chops on both sides. So they have a pretty brown color to them. About 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Spray a roaster pan with cooking spray.
- Slice up a medium size onion and layer the bottom of the roaster pan.
- Layer the browned up chops over the onion. DO NOT let the chops overlap. It is important that they are in a single layer.
- In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the water, dry gravy mix, gravy darkener and the cream of mushroom soup. Season this to taste with the Lawry's Seasoning Salt and Paula Deen House Seasoning.
- Pour this mixture over the pork chops.
- Melt the last 1/4 cup of butter in the frying pan, and saute the thinly sliced fresh mushrooms. I season them with salt and pepper and a splash of Italian dressing.
- Put a pile of the mushrooms on the top of each of the pork chops. Or you can also just mix the sauteed mushrooms in with the gravy. I have done it both ways.
- Bake COVERED at 300°F for two and a half hours. Do not remove the cover at all while baking.
- The gravy thickens up on its own. Just serve pork chops on a platter accompanied with homemade mashed potatoes, vegetable and salad.
SLOW-COOKER PEPPER PORK CHOPS
Steps:
- Combine the vegetable broth, 1/2 cup kosher salt, brown sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Cook just until the salt and sugar dissolve, then remove from the heat and add the ice. Place the pork chops into a 2-gallon zip-top bag along with the mixture and seal. Place in a plastic container and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the chops from the brine, rinse, and pat dry. Season on both sides with the kosher salt and set aside
- Place the apples in the slow cooker.
- Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12-inch stainless steel saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute the pork chops on both sides until golden brown, approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side. Once browned, place the pork chops into the slow cooker atop the apples.
- Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan followed by the onions and saute until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth to the pan to deglaze. Add the black pepper and thyme and stir to combine. Transfer this to the slow cooker, set to high, cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Decrease the heat to low and continue cooking for another 4 hours and 30 minutes or until the pork is tender and falling away from the bone.

SUPER TENDER SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS
I've been making this simple dish for years. Plenty of gravy for mashed potatoes or rice. Sometimes I bake this covered in the oven at 350F - they come out just as moist and tender. Use bone-in or boneless chops. These are even better in the crock pot, if you have that much time.

HOW TO MAKE TENDER PORK CHOPS | EPICURIOUS
From epicurious.com
Author Joe SevierPublished 2018-02-15Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
- Opt for Thick-Cut Bone-In Pork Chops. Thin-cut pork chops won't sear properly in the time it takes to cook them through. So while boneless, thin-cut pork chops are great for dishes like schnitzel or tonkatsu—recipes that call for breading and frying the chop—for a pan-seared chop you'll want to buy something that is at least one-inch-thick (we prefer center-cut rib chops), but no larger than two inches.
- Skip the Brine, but Season Liberally. Not only is brining unnecessary for making tender pork chops, it can also introduce a lot more water to your meat, which will not improve its texture.
- Let the Pork Chops Rest. Leave the seasoned meat at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (and up to two hours) to give the seasoning time to work its way into the meat, and to let the meat come to room temperature, which will allow it to cook more evenly.
- Sear Pork Chops Over Medium-High Heat. Heat a skillet (preferably cast-iron, though stainless steel works too) over a medium-high burner. Our own Anna Stockwell likes to start her pork chops by searing the fat cap, which you can certainly do—other recipes may suggest doing this step last.
- Baste the Pork Chops. Remove the pan from the heat and toss in a knob of unsalted butter, plus some hearty herbs and spices (rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and dried chiles are all good bets).
- Let the Pork Chops Rest, Again. While the pork chop rests, the temperature of the meat will continue to rise as the juices relax and redistribute throughout the chop.
- Serve. You can choose to serve the chops as is, or to slice away the bone and cut the pork into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices. If you haven't cooked pork to medium before, you may notice that it's pinker than you remember.
