Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine the flour and the next two ingredients (1 tsp salt and pepper) in a large ziplock freezer bag. Add chops; seal bag and shake to coat.
Step 2
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot; add 4 chops. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer to a 15 x 10 inch baking dish. Repeat procedure with remaining chops.
Step 3
Sprinkle chops with 1 teaspoon paprika. Wipe skillet with a paper towel.
Step 4
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a skillet until hot. Add onion; sprinkle with sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, 20 minutes or until tender and golden. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add 1 tablespoon paprika; stir well. Spoon mixture over chops. Pour broth over onion mixture. Cover and bake at 350-degrees F for 30 - 45 minutes (depending on the thickness of your chops (ie; thinner/smaller), you may need to adjust the cooking time to less to prevent the chops from being dry). Remove from oven; transfer chops to a serving platter. Pour onion mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into a 4 cup glass measuring cup. Add enough water to broth mixture to measure 2 1/2 cups, if necessary. Set aside.
Step 5
Return solids in strainer to baking dish; top with chops. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 3-5 more minutes or until cheese melts. Set aside, and keep warm.
Step 6
Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add 5 tablespoons flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add reserved broth mixture; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in the salt and pepper, tasting and correcting seasoning, if necessary. Serve chops with onion and sauce.
