How to Make Hidden Goodness Pork Chops

  1. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray.
  2. Sauté 1 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 cup chopped carrots until softened and fragrant (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Season the vegetables with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon soul seasoning.
  4. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside. Brown 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick) for 4 minutes per side.
  5. Sprinkle pork chops with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon soul seasoning.
  6. Return the vegetables to the skillet. Add enough water to reach halfway up the sides of the pork chops (about 1 cup).
  7. Pour 1 tablespoon Kitchen Bouquet over the pork chops and vegetables. Cover the skillet.
  8. Simmer for approximately 60-75 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Remove the pork chops and place them on a warm plate.
  10. Carefully pour the vegetables and cooking liquid into a blender. Blend until smooth.
  11. Return the gravy to the skillet to warm. Add the pork chops back to the skillet to coat them in the gravy.
  12. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, rice, couscous, or green beans. Your kids won't even realize they're eating their veggies!
  13. Enjoy this healthy and delicious family meal!
