Smothered Pork Chops
This one is a throwback to my upbringing in Western Kentucky. We were in that middle ground between the south and the midwest. A 100 acre cornfield was 100 feet from my parents front door, but in many ways we were very Southern as well. I mean it was Kentucky. Now that I've lived here in Nashville for the past few decades, I miss some of these home cookin' kind of dishes. While I normally don't advocate for the use of the crock pot; in this case, dust it off and use it. You'll thank me later.
