MOTHER'S BAKED PORK CHOPS 
This works best with a cast iron skillet, or any pan that is NOT a non-stick pan.

pork chops (any cut, any quantity)
Kitchen Bouquet browning & seasoning sauce
Season-All seasoning
salt
garlic powder
black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 to 1 tbsp. olive oil (enough to coat bottom of pan)
1/2 cup water
large baking pan

PREPARING CHOPS:

Brush both sides of pork chops lightly with Kitchen Bouquet then season with Season-All, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste. Lightly dust both sides with flour. Heat olive oil in cast-iron skillet or metal pan over medium high heat and brown both sides of pork chops really well. Remove from pan and set aside.

Lower heat and add 1/2 cup of water to skillet or pan and loosen flour and seasonings that have stuck to the bottom. Stir well until nothing is left on the bottom of the pan.

Line the bottom of a large baking pan with browned pork chops and cover with water/seasoning mixture from skillet. Cover tightly with heavy duty foil and bake for 45 minutes at 375°F.

I'm from Louisiana, and this was a favorite of mine growing up. My mother usually drained the liquid from the pan and made a gravy to serve over rice. (To make gravy, in a small saucepan, add 1-2 teaspoons of flour to liquid and bring to boil over medium-high heat). The pork chops come out so tender, you can cut them with a fork. Delicious!
