Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the water and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Once the water is simmering, slowly stir in the milk and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the caramel sauce until it is fully combined and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Place the seared pork chops back into the skillet, coating them with the creamy caramel sauce. Let them simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Plate the pork chops and drizzle extra sauce over the top.
