Like the title says. Smothered boneless pork chops and green beans for dinner. So simple and inexpensive to make.

In a large cast iron pan add oil on medium high heat and sautee a small onion in the pan once hot, light smoking from oil. When the onion is almost finished add 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Remove from pan when garlic is blackened. Place pork chops seasoned with sea salt and oregano in pan and sear for 5 mins per side, flipping twice. While pork chops are cooking make a slurry of 1 1/4 cups of milk and 2 teaspoons of corn starch.

Reduce heat to medium low, remove pork chops and set aside. Add milk with corn starch to pan and begin thickening, about 1 minute or so. Add onions and blackened garlic to sauce and mix to reheat onions. Place pork chops back in pan and cover with sauce, let simmer 5 minutes. Serve with side of choice and dinner roll if desired. Enjoy.

    That’s fair. Just for context though, I don’t use expensive wine for it. I buy those 4 packs of little bottles of white wine just for cooking. Shutter Home brand, like $7 for the 4 at Walmart ($1.75 each). The size is convenient as each one is good for a single recipe (about 1/3 cup each I think) and the also the other 3 don’t go bad in a hurry because they aren’t opened from the one use. I’ve had them on hand ready to go for months using one bottle at a time before. You could do it even cheaper with a full sized bottle under 5 dollars at Walmart if you were going to make more servings of the sauce all at once or within a few days, but obviously, once opened, the clock’s ticking on your bottle before it goes off.
