Tender, smothered pork chops

4-6 1-inch thick boneless pork chops
1 cup flour
4 tsp paprika
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
4-8 oz sliced fresh cremini mushrooms
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cups milk

Combine the flour, paprika, salt, and pepper.  Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture. (Save the flour mixture for the sauce).
Melt the butter in a skillet then brown the pork chops on both sides.  Place the pork chops in a shallow baking dish.
Add the onions and mushrooms to the butter and saute until the onion is soft.  Add the garlic and continue cooking until the garlic is fragrant.  Stir in 1/2 cup of the flour mixture.  Cook and stir for 1 minute.  Add 2 cups of milk.  Stir and cook until the sauce thickens.  Pour the sauce over the pork chops.  Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.  Serve over mashed potatoes.
