Fried Pork Chops with a Chipotle Mushroom Gravy

So I used pork chops but feel free to use any sort of other meat here if you'd like.  I'm not sure fish would work too well, but chicken or steak (think country-fried) would work exceptionally well as well.  The gravy also makes for a good topping over mashed potatoes.  This kind of flavoring is what got me to liking spicy foods.  So, as promised with the picture from the previous post:

The Pork Chops

Ingredients:

pork chops (again, other meats ok, so feel free to use chicken or beef)

flour

garlic salt

lemon pepper

taco seasoning

eggs

Cooking instructions:

1.) In a large pot or wok (needs to be deep) pour oil, enough to immerse the pork chops completely and heat at a medium high to high heat (if you have a deep fryer it's actually that much easier)

2.) Mix together the flour, garlic salt, lemon pepper, and taco seasoning (use a lot of taco seasoning)

3.) In another bowl beat the eggs

4.) Coat the meat in egg and then the flour mixture (from hence I will call it fry batter)

5.) When the oil is hot, put the coated meat into oil and fry until a golden brown

The Gravy

Ingredients:

mushrooms

onions

butter

chicken stock (any kind of stock works)

left-over fry batter

chili powder

black pepper

Tobasco Smoked Chipotle sauce

1.) In a large sauce pan (or wok) grill the onions and mushrooms at a medium heat

2.) When the mushrooms and onions are cooked to desired amount (usually when the onions start releasing flavor) add butter and black pepper (I used a little Italian seasoning too, but that's optional) 

3.) After butter melts add chicken stock

4.) Add the left-over fry batter (if you don't have any left over just add flour and season)

5.) Season with black pepper, chili powder, and Tobasco sauce mix until desired consistency

So there you have it, serve the gravy over the chops and it is delicious, if I do say so myself.  I originally had wanted to try it with crushed smoked chipotle peppers, which you can buy canned at the supermarket, but I went with the Tobasco first.  I'll try the iteration with the peppers but essentially I expect it to be pretty similar.  Success!  Hope you enjoy it.

Update: I've tried it with the crushed chipotle, it gives it tons of kick, if you want to tone it down, don't use the whole can
