Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil or shortening
  • 4 center-cut loin pork chops
  • 4 Tablespoons flour, seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika
  • 1 cup water or chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion tops
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery

Directions

In a pie plate or wide, shallow bowl, combine 1/4 cup flour, paprika, salt and pepper. Lightly dredge chops in flour mixture.

In a heavy skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Brown chops on both sides; transfer to a shallow baking dish.

In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, and chopped celery until onion is tender; add mushrooms and continue cooking until onion lightly browns; add remaining 1/4 cup of flour, blending in well. Add milk slowly, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened. Taste and season to taste; add lemon juice.

Pour sauce over chops in baking pan. Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 1 hour.
