Ingredients
Instructions
- Flour the pork chops and fry in butter until browned.
- Add finely chopped onions to the skillet and cook until translucent.
- Sprinkle the pork chops with garlic salt and pepper.
- Pour in the can of beef consomme and the drained sliced peaches.
- Cover and simmer the dish for 1 hour or longer until the pork is tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use a mix of butter and olive oil when frying the pork chops. If you're out of beef consomme, you can substitute with low-sodium beef broth for a lighter taste. Consider adding a splash of soy sauce for an umami boost. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and stir it in during the last few minutes of cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pork chops with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy rice to soak up the delicious sauce. A fresh green salad or steamed vegetables can add a nice crunch and color to your plate. This dish also pairs beautifully with the comforting flavors found in American recipes like Beef And Wine Casserole for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the pork chops in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out. Cover with a lid to steam the meat back to tenderness, or microwave in short intervals, covered, until heated through.

How do I know when the pork chops are fully cooked?
The best way to ensure pork chops are fully cooked is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). If you don't have a thermometer, cut into the thickest part of the chop; the meat should be pale pink and the juices should run clear.
