OVEN-BAKED PORK CHOPS IN LEMONY-MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• In a shallow bowl combine the flour with the next 5 spices (remove 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture and set aside).
• Coat the pork chops in the flour mixture one at a time then place onto a plate.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat melt the butter with oil; add in the pork chops and brown on both sides then transfer to prepared baking dish.
• In the same skillet add in mushrooms and saute until golden; sprinkle over the pork chops.
• To the skillet add in onion and bell pepper; saute until softened.
• Add in garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add in the reserved 3 tablespoons flour mixture and stir for 1 minute.
• Stir in 2 cups half and half cream or milk; bring to a boil and stir for 2 minutes or until smooth and bubbly.
• Remove from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice (at this point you may season the gravy with more black pepper to taste).
• Pour the sauce over the chops and mushrooms; using a fork lift the chops slightly to allow the gravy to flow underneath.
• Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for about 50-60 minutes (do not cover tightly you will need to allow some air to flow out while cooking).
