Ah, Cream of Mushroom Pork Chops—a creamy, comforting twist on classic pork chops. 🍄🥩 Here’s a simple way to make them juicy and flavorful:
Ingredients (2–4 servings)
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion, chopped (optional)
- 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 295 g) cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk or cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme or a few sprigs fresh
- Optional: parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Brown the pork chops:
- Season chops with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear pork chops 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
2. Cook the mushrooms and onion:
- In the same skillet, sauté onion (if using) until soft.
- Add mushrooms and cook until browned, 4–5 minutes.
3. Make the creamy sauce:
- Lower heat to medium. Stir in cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic, and thyme.
- Mix until smooth and heated through.
4. Combine pork chops with sauce:
- Return pork chops to the skillet. Spoon sauce over them.
- Cover and simmer 10–15 minutes, until chops are fully cooked (internal temp 145°F / 63°C) and tender.
5. Serve:
- Garnish with parsley.
- Delicious over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
If you like, I can also give a one-pan baked version where everything cooks together in the oven—super easy cleanup and just as creamy.
Do you want me to show that version?
