Smothered Beef Chops with Potatoes in Gravy

How to Make

1. Sear the beef chops – This step locks in flavor and gives a beautiful color.
2. Create a rich gravy – The onion and flour base adds a deep, comforting taste to the dish.
3. Layer and bake – Combine the potatoes and beef, smother with gravy, then bake until everything becomes tender and flavorful.
4. Rest and serve – Let it sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the gravy to thicken slightly more.

Variations

Add sliced mushrooms to the gravy for a deeper flavor.

Use sweet potatoes instead of regular ones for a unique twist.

Replace beef chops with pork or chicken for a different version.

Add a pinch of thyme or rosemary for a fragrant herbal note.

For a creamier sauce, substitute half the beef broth with cream of mushroom soup.

Tips

Searing the meat first gives the dish a richer taste.

Do not skip covering the dish during baking—this keeps everything moist and tender.

If the gravy thickens too much, add a splash of broth before serving.

Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors meld.

Smothered Beef Chops with Potatoes in Gravy is the definition of comfort food—rich, hearty, and full of satisfying flavors. It’s a timeless dish that transforms simple ingredients into a warm and delicious family favorite.
