Pork chops, being lean, are normally best cooked quick over high heat to preserve moisture. You won’t leave the table unsatisfied, I would be very surprised if you did. But fret not, this recipe makes plenty of gravy to go around. It’s so good, in fact, that I won’t be surprised if many of you will be shamelessly licking the leftover gravy off the plate.

To smother meat means to cook it low-and-slow in rich gravy until the meat becomes ridiculously tender.
