Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops in your favorite spices before cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. You can add mushrooms or bell peppers to the gravy for added taste and texture.
