INGREDIENTS:
4 Bone in pork chops
2 Onions sliced into rings
Choice of seasonings
2 Tbsp. Olive oil
2 Tbsp. Bacon grease
1 Packet of brown gravy mix
½ C. Coffee
1 C. Water
DIRECTIONS:
Place the pork chops in a bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, and coat in your choice of seasonings.
Pour the coffee over the pork chops, and place them into the fridge.
Add the onions to a skillet over medium heat on the stove, and add just enough salt to have them start releasing the moisture from them. Saute until tender and caramelized then set aside.
Mix the gravy packet with the water, and start cooking in a skillet over medium low heat.
Add the bacon grease to a skillet, and sear the pork chops over medium high heat.
Place the coffee from the pork chops into the gravy, and saute another few minutes until thickening.
Add the pork chops and onions to the gravy in the skillet, and saute over medium low heat covered for 15-20 minutes. You can add additional water to the gravy if it is too thick.
