Smothered Pork Chops & Onion Gravy by The Cajun Ninja

[@TheCajunNinja]

SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS & ONION GRAVY 6-8 Bone-in Center Cut Pork Chops Kosher or Sea Salt for flavor Fresh Black Pepper for flavor Small amount of Vegetable Oil 1 Onion 1 (32 oz) Container of Chicken Stock 1 Teaspoon of Cajun or Creole Seasoning 1/2 Stick of Unsalted Butter 2-3 Tablespoons of Cornstarch 1/2 Cup of Cold Water Rice or Mashed Potatoes to serve with Start out by getting a pan heated over med/high heat. Generously season each side of the pork chops with the fresh salt and pepper. Add a small amount of vegetable oil to the hot pan. Brown each side of your pork chops by searing them for 4-5 minutes on each side. When you remove them, you want to put them on a hard plate or bowl. This will help salvage any excesliquid that comes off of them. While your porkchops are searing, go ahead and chop your onion. Once you have browned all of your pork chops, add your chopped onions to the pan. Add a small amount of cold water to help break up the drippings on the bottom of the pan. Sauté the onions for 10-15 minutes or until soft. When your onions are soft, add a small amount of the chicken stock and mix well. Next layer your pork chops over the onions. Be sure to pour any of the excess liquid from the pork chops back into the pan. Add most or all of the remaining chicken stock to the pan. Add the Cajun/Creole Seasoning. Bring to a boil, cover, then lower to a simmering heat. Cook for 2 hours without uncovering the lid. When the 2 hours is up, gently remove each pork chop with a slotted spatula on to a hard plate. Drop the half Stick of butter into the pan, and let it melt. Next mix the 2-3 Tablespoons of cornstarch with the half cup of cold water. (How thick you like your gravy is what decides how much cornstarch you will use. More corn starch equals thicker gravy) Pour into the pan. Raise your heat and stir. When the gravy starts to thicken, lower your heat back to simmer, and add your pork chops back in. Serve with either rice or mashed potatoes. Enjoy! 😊

You ain't Cajun if you can't cook a rice and gravy with fresh sausage.

Bruh...made it. Amazing! I did just like you did. Fantastic man. It will be in our rotation here in Chicago. Thank you. The Tony's and butter are a must.

[@Xano6190]

Mississippi man currently living in Lafayette. I've made a few of your recipes already, and they turned out amazing! Definitely gives me a good way to learn different Cajun recipes that I wasn't truly able to learn back home. Can't wait to try even more of these delicious recipes!

[@dustylebaron2307]

I'm a fellow Louisianian. I've been seeing your videos on Facebook and am glad to see you on KZbin now! Love the recipes! I wish you all the best on your KZbin success and if you ever need a graphic designer, send me a message! I'm always down to help a fellow Louisianian!

[@TheMsminnis]

Anxiously awaiting your next recipe. I made Pastalya for my family a few nights ago and it was a hit!!! It definitely will be in my rotation. Thanks for the great recipes I live in Florida so I appreciate the southern Cajun food.

[@TheCajunNinja]

Shannan Minnis that's awesome!! More will come. Stay tuned, and thanks for the support!

[@kevinfreeman4085]

[@rtp1968]

I can't thank you enough for posting this video. I made pork chops tonight following your recipe, they were were killer!!!👍🤛👏

[@rogerbianco2716]

That gravy looks so good ! I will fill my bath tube with this gravy and JUMP IN ! see you in a week!

[@jalynnam]

Made this the other night. LOVED it! I didn't have any chicken stock in the fridge, so I used a can of cream of chicken instead and added some extra water to it. Turned out great!

[@banecrushr]

Now that right there is cooking on the fly!

[@demettriousabbott4012]

This is how my mother taught me to cook. And my family loves it there's nothing like a good home cooked meal filled with love. Ten times better than any so called FIVE STAR restaurant.

[@dholland9197]

I tried this tonight. Wow, it was so good. So glad I found this site. Louisiana man here in Texas.

[@TheCajunNinja]

david holland that's awesome! This one is a fav of mine. 😊

[@haleymblanchard9298]

[@TheCajunNinja]

Haley Blanchard yes indeed! That's awesome 👏🏻 Thanks for giving it a shot!

[@beautifulk720]

I just tried your recipe tonight just because i like trying to do my gravy different at times and boyyyy i tell you its the truth thanks 💯❗

[@Paula19482]

I made this dish last night, it was FABULOUS, the chops were so tender, it's definitely a "keeper" , I'm loving your recipes. I did add more Cajun spices, we like it a little more spicy, thanks for this one

[@debbiepope5096]

I wish I could chop my onion with my hand, like you do lol 😂🤣🤣

[@ashleywashington1997]

[@TheCajunNinja]

Ashley Washington sounds amazing! 😃👊🏻

[@Rudy8558]

Awesome recipes man keep up the good work!!

[@ashlimoseley6721]

I love his voice lol

[@sethplaisance5160]

So that's how you got the "gravy" instead of the sauce. I watched your newest version of this and the sauce is REALLY good, but being a cooking newbie I couldn't figure out how to make it a thicker gravy. We actually had some left over sauce and we ended up reusing it with some beef stew meat. After the beef is browned well enough, add that left over sauce from these pork chops and you won't regret it!

[@TheCajunNinja]

Seth Plaisance oh for sure! I always save the leftover gravy! Yea you can make it thicker with cornstarch, but some wanted a video without it. You can also thick by cooking with the top off

[@rogerbianco2716]

some people love to complain? well scrape em off! they are the same old same old that hate garlic ! I have no use for them I am Italian! I watch your program every day! The best ! keep on keepin on!

[@Gumbo31013]

Hey Cajun Ninja, looks delicious. Where did you get that Roaster from and what size is it? Is it a aluminum pot?

[@katnicsta]

My six year old little boy cannot wait for me to make this.

[@cathylewandowski6945]

Catlea Lea YESSSS!! 😁🙌🏻

[@ChynaEyez1012]

[@BADAZZ93STANG]

I'm doing this recipe today!!!! With smothered potatoes and onions....

[@davidg8945]

made these.....WOW....was it good? PI...YAAAAAAAAA....you are da best!....gonna do your mac and cheese next...thank you!

[@porkchop803scwilliams9]

I would super love to make that

[@AaronMC]

Looks awesome! Love the editing with the onion chopping haha. To help deglaze the pan a little bit, instead of water, would ou recommend a little white wine or maybe some beer? This looked amazing!

[@TheCajunNinja]

Aaron thanks! Personally, I wouldn’t Recommend wine or beer, because wine or beer can change up the flavor of the dish? Without knowing what wine or beer one would choose, the added flavor may not necessarily be positive. Whereas water will help break everything up, and simply evaporate. 😊👍🏻

[@AaronMC]

That is a good point! I just like using any excuse to use alcohol when it comes to cooking haha.

[@TheCajunNinja]

Oh, well, you didn’t say anything about drinking it. 😄

[@bernitrawilliams6494]

Looks sooooooo good

[@kennethcavalier6201]

Cuz I grew up on that dish love it

[@MrPixlink]

That meat pie recipe was the bomb as I have always wanted to know how to do the dough properly and you knocked it out of the park. To all my Jamaican Friends in Jamaica, NY eat your heart out. pi..yaooooooohh!!! Now the pork chops and onions and gravy looks wonderful and tasty. You got any vegan recipes that I can surprise my wife with as I am not good in the kitchen so I could use your help.

[@TheCajunNinja]

Donald Haynes that's awesome! Unfortunately I do not have any vegan recipes.

[@moniquegebeline4350]

The Cajun Ninja you don't know how to make a ratatouille? My aunt always made hers with potatoes. YUM

[@TheCajunNinja]

Monique Gebeline can't say I've ever attempted it. However, my kids enjoyed the movie. 😊

[@donnaj1801]

How in the world did I miss this. I’m making this ASAP!

[@TheCajunNinja]

donnaj1801 do it! It’s great!

[@dannysharp8724]

Looks good as always. Just one question are you any relation to Justin Wilson he was a good Cajun cook and storyteller and we would watch him on PBS when I was younger. Keep the good food coming. pieyawwww 😎

[@TheCajunNinja]

Danny Sharp no relation, but I’m always very humbled by the comparison.

[@jeaneaperry2928]

Your welcome! I didn't add the Tony's seasoning because you didn't mention which one to use. Can you tell me which one to use?

[@TheCajunNinja]

Jeanea perry I use the original, but be careful, sometimes it's too much for some people.

[@mdotschrody]

My goodness these look amazing

[@TheCajunNinja]

[@MisterOneHunned]

[@1129marbles]

Argh! I had pork chops this evening before I saw this recipe! I'll be making these next...

[@TheCajunNinja]

Mark Varble right on!

[@sydney072007]

Looks great! What type of pan are you cooking your pork chops in.

[@TheCajunNinja]

It's a large frying pan. Calphalon is the brand. :)

[@shawandaswayzer2161]

Whatcha Doin Derouen Thank you! do it stuck much?

[@TheCajunNinja]

Shawanda Swayzer always start out with a small amount of oil to prevent any sticking.

[@shawandaswayzer2161]

Whatcha Doin Derouen Gotcha, looking at ordering it now. Thanks again for the sharing what you love to do.

[@TheCajunNinja]

Shawanda Swayzer my pleasure! Thanks for tuning in! 😊

[@tammywhitfield1857]

[@angellsimms2994]

U did that honey.....

[@btwarner2124]

Making these right now.

[@erinmcnicholl1]

How many cups of chicken stock did you use? I only have chicken stock cubes. Can you cook the 2 hour part in a slow cooker?

[@TheCajunNinja]

Erin Mcnicholl fill to where they cover the Chops.😊 Not sure about a slow cooker.

[@erinmcnicholl1]

I finished it in my slowcooker and it came out amazing! ❤

[@Bamaboompa]

Where you at tee? That looks like some kind of good! Ain't that REAL close to grillades? Looks close enough I'd do it and put across some cheese grits. That's jus me.

[@taragunnels9733]

Can't wait to try this tonight

[@taragunnels9733]

Best pork chops I have ever made. So delicious

[@xtrak3820]

Looks good!

[@byronbrooks9415]

Do smothered steak

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

For a menu : filet cochon etouffe. 22.00, I guarantee.

[@beckycastillo1411]

Like the recipe. It doesn't have too many ingredients. 😁

[@balexus11]

You don’t add any more liquor to your meat within that 2 hours. Mines always seem to dry out.

[@TheCajunNinja]

Alexus Davis are you cooking boneless porkchops?

[@banecrushr]

Hey Cajun ninja, where you from man? I was raised in Lake Arthur. Live in Texas now.

[@ekonx8010]

dam! dat look good

[@TMOwen]

Love your channel. The vertical video was not well received. Your are really awesome tho...

[@TheCajunNinja]

T.M. Owen hey thanks! Usually it’s not well received by new people because they’ve stumbled upon old content. OG’s remember the old days and appreciate it. 😊👊🏻

[@justinvaughan8655]

I made this tonight and followed it to the T and for some reason the gravy would not gather correctly im not sure what went wrong, but it was still super good

[@TheCajunNinja]

Justin Vaughan it wouldn't thicken?

[@justinvaughan8655]

The Cajun Ninja no, i think when i started it i put a little to much veggie oil in the pan, would that make it not thicken?

[@angelabatts8677]

I just made this it was the bomb dot com ❤🙌

[@wastedklickhook]

OMG bro I just made this..🤗🤗 ⬇️ delicious dish thanks.

[@jpowell230]

Can I substitute chicken broth for the chicken stock?

[@TheCajunNinja]

Jason Powell sure

[@jeaneaperry2928]

Thanks!

[@Kyjarreds]

Where can I find the recipes?

[@hebrewqueen5640]

What if I smother some round steaks, do I use beef stock?

[@TheCajunNinja]

Brandi Ward either/or will work, but if you like a more beefy flavor, use beef stock.

[@banecrushr]

Depends on what "flavor" your going after...beef = more beefy, chicken gives it a more mellow flavor, almost like chicken soup but not quiet. Pork you always use the chicken stock.

[@hayleyyoung9402]

I cooked this and it came out PERFECT! I may double liquid etc. next time for extra gravy. :D Have you tried this recipe in a pressure cooker?

[@TheCajunNinja]

Hayley Young I have not, but I’d love to hear the results!

[@melissamadere6284]

[@dholland9197]

I tried this and it turned out so great. My gravy did not turn out great. It was too thin. Not sure what I did wrong.

[@TheCajunNinja]

david holland wow, even after adding the cornstarch?

[@dholland9197]

I forgot to add the butter. Major mistake

[@TheCajunNinja]

david holland ahhh... I still find it odd that it did not thicken with the cornstarch. That's a straight up thickening agent. 🤔

[@dholland9197]

I did not add the butter to the gravy and I am sure that is why it turned out thin

[@beatsbymaneebemaneebrock4147]

Am i the only one the washes their meat 🤔

[@TheCajunNinja]

Emanee Fontenot why wash it? You’re going to cook it to a temperature that kills all bacteria. You’re only wash away natural flavors of the meat. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@nickb.237]

I think people normally do this to wash off any bone fragments that may be on the meat after the butcher cuts them. I know what you're saying, but it isn't a bad idea to give them a rinse and pat down with paper towels before cooking them. When you gonna take that camera to the barbecue pit man? Get on that grill for a couple videos T Bruh!@@TheCajunNinja
