SOUTHERN STYLE PORK CHOPS
     PORK-CHOPS-2 - Pork chops in mushroom peanut-butter sauce

     I originally found this recipe in the Woman's Day Encyclo-
     pedia of Cookery.  It is very easy to prepare and makes a
     hearty main dish served over rice or noodles.

INGREDIENTS (serves 4)
     4         pork chops, about 1/2 inch thick
               shortening or oil
     4         onion slices (we like these fairly thick)
     1/4 cup   peanut butter
     3/4 cup   condensed mushroom soup (or make a mushroom-
               flavored white sauce)
     1/4 cup   milk
     1 tsp     Worcestershire sauce
     1 tsp     salt
     1/8 tsp   black pepper

PROCEDURE
          (1)  In a frying pan big enough to hold all of the
               chops at once, brown pork chops on both sides in a
               little shortening or oil. Pour off fat, leaving
               chops in frypan.

          (2)  Place an onion slice on top of each chop.

          (3)  Mix peanut butter, mushroom soup, milk, Wor-
               cestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.  Pour over
               chops.

          (4)  Cover and simmer over medium to low heat for 45
               minutes.  You may want to move the chops around in
               the pan from time to time to keep them from stick-
               ing.

NOTES
     Smooth peanut butter is best. The chunky variety gives a
     strange consistency to this dish.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 5 minutes browning, 45 minutes sim-
     mering.  Precision: no need to measure.
