Smithfield Product: Fresh Pork

Ingredients

• 6 Smithfield Pork Chops
  1 cup buttermilk
  1 cup all-purpose flour
  6 cups vegetable oil
  2 teaspoons House Seasoning, divided (see recipe below)
  1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  
  House Seasoning:
  1 cup salt
  1/4 cup black pepper
  1/4 cup garlic powder
  Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Steps

Heat oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the seasonings on both sides of the pork chops, rubbing them thoroughly into the meat. Pour buttermilk over meat and turn to coat on all sides. Season flour generously with House Seasoning, roll each chop into flour, and shake off the excess. Carefully place the chops, 2 at a time, into the hot oil, and cook until the outside is golden brown. Take 1 chop out and make a small cut at the thickest part to check for doneness; adjust time accordingly for the rest. Drain on paper towels before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with hearty potato casserole and fresh vegetables.
