Chops and Gravy




4 lean pork chops
4 T soy sauce
1/2 C sliced mushrooms
1/2 tsp pepper
2 T Worcestershire sauce
2 can cream of mushroom soup
1 medium onion, sliced or diced
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp parsley

Place pork chops in a pot or casserole. Lay onion slices (chopped but you could do rings also) over pork chops. Mix the rest of ingredients in a bowl and pour over pork chops. Cook on low for 1. Note: After cooking remove the chops and strain the gravy. This way you have a smooth gravy and reserve the onions (and mushrooms if you use them) for those who like them to put them on their chops.
