• We like to keep our seasonings simple; however, you can get creative and use any type of seasoning that your family enjoys.
• Before you add the pork chops to the skillet, make sure that the skillet and oil are nice and hot so that you get a nice crust.
• Don’t overcook the pork chop; you just want to get a nice golden brown crust on the outside. They will finish cooking in the gravy.
