Smothered Pork Chops

PAT Have mercy—I could eat pork chops 7 days a week. I eat ’em grilled, fried, or baked, but my absolute favorite is a smothered pork chop. When I pull up and smell the fantastic aroma coming from the stovetop, it stops me in my tracks. That’s Tanya, working her magic. GINA Okay . . . if my sister wasn’t my sister, I would think she is trying to get my man! She knows that he loves pork chops, and I am the only one other than his mama who is supposed to know that! Tanya uses all the right ingredients: adding chicken broth for more moisture, and a dash of hot sauce and cayenne to spice it up (hey, sister, that’s my thang). This is the only time I will bend on letting someone cook for Pat!
