Smothered Pork Chops in Cola Casserole Directions:
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch glass casserole dish.
-
Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
-
Place the flour in a shallow dish and lightly dredge each pork chop, shaking off excess. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the flour.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with vegetable oil spray. Brown the pork chops for 3 minutes per side, just until golden. Transfer to the casserole dish in a single layer.
-
Reduce heat to medium. Add the sliced onion and cook for 6 minutes until soft and lightly golden. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
-
Sprinkle the reserved flour over the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
-
Slowly pour in the diet cola while scraping the skillet. Add chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
-
Pour the onion-cola mixture evenly over the pork chops. Dot with light butter.
-
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 50 minutes, until pork is very tender.
-
Remove foil for the last 10 minutes to slightly reduce the sauce. Discard bay leaf.
-
Rest for 5 minutes before serving and spoon sauce over each chop.
