Ingredients:

Serving

8 thinly cut pork chops (about 3 lb cut about 1/2-inch thick )
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups thinly sliced onions (or more! they cook down so you hardly notice them in the sauce)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tbsp chopped garlic
4 bay leaves
2 (14 1/2 oz) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 1/3 cups water (1 1/2 cans if you measure in chicken broth can)
1 lb smoked sausage
1 lb russet potato, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes

Directions:

Mix ingredients for seasoning mix together in a small bowl and sprinkle generously on both sides of pork chops.
(Save the extra seasoning mix to add to the sauce later if you think it needs more seasoning-I tossed it out, and then wished I had a little bit more to make it a little spicier).
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops, a few at a time and cook them until they are lightly browned on both sides (about 2 minutes per side).
Remove the pork chops to a platter and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium.
Add the flour and stir constantly until the roux is the color of peanut butter, about 4 minutes.
Add the onions, salt, and pepper.
Cook, stirring, until the onions are slightly soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, bay leaves, chicken broth and water.
Bring to a boil.
Return the pork chops to the pot.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
Add the smoked sausage and the potatoes.
Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
Serve with either steamed white rice or rice pilaf.
