Slap Yourself Smothered Pork Chops

6 Bone in Pork Chops
1 Bulb Fresh Garlic, minced
5 Ribs of Celery chopped
2 Medium Onions, slivered
1 Medium Green Bell Pepper, slivered
1 Pound of Sliced Mushrooms
1/2 Cup Flour
4 Cups Chicken or Turkey Stock (I Use Better than Bullion Brand) Salt source
Cracked Black Pepper enough to season chops while searing
1 Envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix (salt source)
1 Tbsp Smother Seasoning
1/4 Cup Chopped Parsley or Celery Leaves
4 Tablespoons Butter
2 Tablespoon Oil

Smother Seasoning
This is a basic blackening seasoning. I use Sensational Seasoning salt-free Cajun Blackening.
1 Tsp Black Pepper
1 Tsp White Pepper
1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp Onion Powder
1 Tbsp Paprika
1/2 Tsp Ground Oregano

This along with black/white pepper, onion/garlic powder is a basic chicken seasoning. I have a salt free mix by Marion Kay spice 99x chicken seasoning with these ingredients.
1/2 Tsp Ground Sage
1/4 Tsp Ground Coriander
1/2 Tsp Ground Savory
1/2 Tsp Ground Thyme
1/2 Tsp Ground Marjoram
1/2 Tsp Ground Bay Leaves
(Do not add Salt)

Mix both spice list together, do not add salt. Now you have a good smother seasoning that works great on smothered turkey wings or baked chicken. Use a heaping tablespoon in the smothered pork chops and store the rest. 

Plug in a Large Crockpot on high. Heat Oil and butter in a skillet and sear off pork chops, season generously with black pepper. Transfer chops to crock pot.

Add flour to skillet and cook flour while whisking, add stock and whisk scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Add Smother Seasoning and Lipton Onion Soup Mix. Bring to a bubbling simmer, pour the sauce over the chops (scrape the pan with a spatula and get all of that good sauce).

Clean pan and add 2 tablespoons butter and oil and sear mushrooms on medium high heat, turn down the heat, add celery, onion and bell pepper, saute another minute.

Transfer everything into the crock pot. Lastly add in the garlic, raw along with the parsley/celery leaves.

Note:  Salt in the recipe comes from two sources, the chicken stock, and the Lipton Onion Soup Mix. Don't add any additional salt.

Cook on High for 5 hours. Walk away at this point, come back hours later with a pan of fluffy rice and enjoy... it is okay to cry when you taste it.

Tip: If the gravy is not thick enough, make a cornstarch slurry, stir into the gravy about 30 minutes before plating.
