1 teas salt

1/2 teas pepper

1/4 cup pancake mix

2 tables vegetable  shortening

Wipe chops dry after rinsing under cold water. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper; coat with the pancake mix. Heat shortening in a large skillet; brown chops well on both sides. Removed from skillet to a shallow roasting pan. Saute onions with remaining salt, pepper and sugar in same skillet until lightly browned. Stir in flour; cook until well blended. Gradually add boiling water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and boils. Pour over chops. Cover pan tighty with foil.

Bake 1 hour, 20 mins. Remove chops to serving platter; keep warm. Pour gravy into a bowl and serve this with rice or mashed potatoes……….delicious!

This recipe is from a friend of my mom’s (June) in Corpus Christi. June is a fabulous cook and every time I go see my mom, we go visit June and she always hands me a couple of her favorite recipes. This one, I immediately came home and tried and Randy and I and the family we had over loved them……they really are good. So tender and the flavor is just awesome. (I did add a little garlic powder to the gravy mix because I am one of those people that just don’t think there is enough garlic in the world,ha)*

*Once I used 1 cup of the water and 1 cup of french onion soup as my liquid for the gravy….I think I liked that even more, just because it gave more of an onion flavor.
