Sage Pork Chops

Comfort food after a long day.
Carpets are shampooed. Grocery shopping is done. Halloween costume #1 is cut out and about half way done. Have I mentioned how much I don't like Halloween? Laundry is done. More resumes sent out. House is vacuumed and cleaned. Since it was Wednesday and Christopher wouldn't be home I decided to have dinner early and get the kitchen cleaned up. I fed the girls at 5:00p and by 5:30p I was cleaning off the table. Then Christopher walks in the door. He's confused because we didn't wait for him for diner and I'm confused because I wasn't expecting him home. That's when I realized it was actually Tuesday. Duh!
The pork chops were good but way too salty for me. I don't normally cook or bake with salt and this recipe called for one teaspoon. I was going to cut it in half but at the last moment decided to stick with the original amount. Wrong call.
Recipe found at All Recipes.
Ingredients
2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried sage
1 tsp ground black pepper
6 center cut bone-in pork chops
2 tbsp butter
1 cup beef broth
Directions
Combine the salt, sage and black pepper in a small bowl and rub on both sides of the chops. Melt the butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium high heat and saute the chops for 5 minutes per side, or until well browned. Add beef broth to the chops, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer chops for 45 minutes.

Yum! I'm always looking for ways to cook pork chops. I'm not a huge fan of them, but cooking them right makes a difference. The gravy looks heavenly. Everything is better with a little gravy, right?
