Smothered Pork Chops





6 thick, center cut, bone-in pork chops
3 large yellow onions


Dry Rub for chops
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon mustard powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 tablespoons ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Rub chops on all sides and then pan fry in a little butter until they're nice and brown. Remove from pan and set aside while you caramelize the onions.

Simmer the onions on low heat until they are brown, juicy and sweet. This step takes some patience, if you turn up the heat too high you will burn the onions before they turn sweet. It's gonna take awhile, (15-20 min)so I suggest that you turn the fire down as low as you can and pop open a cold beer.

When the onions are ready, return the chops to pan, add a 1/4 cup of water, cover pan and simmer for 30 minutes. Then you might as well have another cold one while you wait.
