How to Cook Pork Chops:

  1. Season and sear pork chops on a hot skillet in oil and butter
  2. Saute and season sliced mushrooms
  3. Add remaining ingredients for the creamy mushroom sauce
  4. Return pork chops, smother in sauce and cook until tender

NOTE: The meat cannot thicker than 1/2″ in thickness or else it will not cook through. If the meat is thicker, beat with a meat mallet until about 1/2″ in thickness.

How to Substitute for Bone-in Pork Chops:

This recipe will work for both bone-in or boneless pork chops. If substituting for bone-in, cook an additional 2-3 minutes longer per side, depending on the thickness of the meat. The internal reading of the thickest part of the pork chop should read 145°F which is the safe pork cooking temperature. 

What Kind of Mushrooms Should I use?

Use whatever mushrooms you have on hand. White mushrooms, cremini or portobello mushrooms will all work in this recipe.

NOTE: Did you know that portobello mushrooms are just cremini mushrooms that are harvested when mature and fully grown?

Can I Substitute the Hot Sauce?

The hot sauce gives the creamy mushroom sauce a light kick. If you are concerned about it being too spicy, add less of the sauce or omit it completely, but it does add great flavor to the sauce. 

How to Make the Pork Chops Tender?

Once the pork chops are added back to the pan, turn the heat down to low and allow the pork chops to continue cooking another 5-8. Be sure the heat is really low so it doesn’t burn the sauce.

    My family of 6 loved this recipe! I have used a canned mushroom soup sauce for pork chops for years, but I will never go back after eating this dish! Thank you!

    This recipe was amazing and my husband loved it! The pork chops were dry though. For some reason I can never make tender pork chops unless I cook them in the crockpot. Do you think this can be done in the crockpot?

      Hi Mary, I have not tested that in a crockpot to advise. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe. Unfortunately, pork can be easy to overcook and turn dry which is why we are hooked on using our instant-read thermometer. It has saved many meals!

    Yum! I did add a glug of sherry to the sauteed mushrooms and let it cook off before adding the flour. Also, I didn’t have cream, but we had some sour cream, so I just stirred it in at the end. Perfect!

    I made this last night and it was soooooooo delicious. Thank you Natasha for sharing this with us. I actually made two portions of this because my husband and son are meat eaters. I also made your banana muffins with chocolate chips. I added some raisins to the recipe because I love raisins and I just couldn’t wait. Had to have one right when it came out of the over and it was so good.

    I made this recipe twice. It is delicious! Like a couple of others commented, for my first attempt the sauce was a little runny. So the second time I made it I added 2 T. of flour instead of one, and it was perfect. I also added a touch of Dijon mustard like one reviewer did, and it added a nice flavor. Excellent dish!

      Hi Pamela, I have not used milk to advise, I worry it won’t get creamy enough. I haven’t tried this either but it may work with half and half.

    Like others, I had issues with the pork turning out tough. But the sauce is so delicious I will definitely try again using some of the tips I’ve read here.

    I also have an electric range which makes it really hard to switch cooking temps quickly which may be part of the issue.

    I baked a pork tenderloin using your recipe Monday night, and had half of it left over. I cut it into medallions and used the suace recipe here to have it tonight. Delicious!! Had to improvise because I didn’t have any chicken stock, but had some Knorr’s bullion and it came out great!! very simple, too. Thanks for the good grub!!

    This meal is delicious, the only thing about this meal is if you like your meat tender, then you have to simmer with the lid on, on low heat for about an hour.

    I stumbled across this recipe pretty randomly. I followed it exactly as written and it was very good. Like an upgraded version of my mom’s pork chops with mushroom soup that I had growing up. I know you recommended serving with mashed potatoes, but I went with a quick rice pilaf and it was delicious. This one is going in our week night rotation.

    Great job on the recipe.

    I love this recipe, I did however find that my pork turned out too dry so now I just use steak and cut it up into small pieces and use this recipe as a gravy.

      Great question, Theresa. You can double the recipe for 8 pork chops. We have a servings sliders on the printable recipe towards the bottom of the post. You can use that to determine how much you will make.

    This is an excellent recipe for ‘dressed up’ pork chops. I’ve made the recipe with chops that I cut from a whole pork loin…cut them about 3/4 inch thick, once with standard cut, bone-in chops….you know the ones that go on sale regularly at the market and another time for company…thick cut 1- inch, bone-in. We personally prefer the recipe with bone-in chops. I’ve made the recipe just as written with one exception…near the end of cooking I add 1 bunch of trimmed fresh spinach and serve over Jasmine rice. The finished product plates beautifully. Serve with a simple fruit salad, sweet potatoes and crusty french roll it makes a great meal that your guests will give praise to.

    We love this recipe and make it whenever we have pork chops. I like to use my cast iron and a separate pan for the mushrooms. When I pull the chops out, I’ll pour the sauce over the chops. Soo good. Thank you for sharing!
