Pork chops in Beer
Recipe By : Dawn
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 large pork chops
salt -- to taste
pepper -- to taste
12 ounces Miller Lite
1/4 medium onion -- sliced
Salt & pepper both side of chops and brown over medium high heat. When browned, turn heat to low, add 1 can of beer and the sliced onion. Cover and braise the chops, turning them occasionally, until the beer is almost gone (about 30 - 45 minutes). You will have thick "gravy like" drippings with onions at the end which gives the chops a nice brown appearance, serve this on top of pork chops. Very tender!
