Golden Smothered Porkchops /Guacamole

Tonight we had Ken, Lisa and the kids over for dinner. I tried a new recipe called Golden Smothered Porkchops. I also made rice and baked up some crescent rolls. Lisa made a greens salad and homemade Guacamole. I made my O'Henry Bars for dessert.


Golden Smothered Porkchops

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 3/4 cups Swanson® Beef Broth
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
vegetable cooking spray
6 bone-in pork chops, 1/2-inch thick
1 medium onion, sliced

DIRECTIONS
Mix cornstarch, broth and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Spray skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat 1 min. Cook chops 10 min. or until browned. Set chops aside. Remove skillet from heat.
Spray skillet with cooking spray. Add onion. Cook over medium heat until crisp-tender.
Stir cornstarch mixture and add. Cook until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly. Return chops to skillet. Cover and cook over low heat 5 min. or until chops are done. Place porkchops on a platter and then pour the gravy and onions over the chops OR pour the gravy into a gravy boat and serve that way.


Homemade Guacamole

INGREDIENTS
2 avocados
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
