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.

    This is the second time I have made these…I think they came out better than the first time. I used a little “Better than Bouillon” in the gravy…put it over the top for me. Having grown up in a Ukrainian household, this meal really brings back memories…Again Thank You. Hugs from Canada.

    Wow! This recipe rocks! My husband said this was his all time favorite, going for a 2nd helping. I subbed out shallots for the onions…it was yummy. This recipe makes a lot of delicious, complex tasting gravy, and the pork chops were super- tender. Definitely will make again

    My third time making this recipe absolutely delicious!!!!!! I like the sauce a little thicker so when its all done i just mix in corn starch to thicken it a little more.

    Natasha the recipe was delish! The only problem was, my sauce turned out too runny. I followed the recipe so why did it turn out like that? I added a bit of cornstarch to make it thicker and it was still to die for!

      Hi Eva, the flour is used to thicken the sauce, otherwise, it may be too runny. Did you omit the flour or make any changes? You may try cornstarch instead. I hope that helps!

    Just made this for my family. It was great. I really like mushrooms, so I used 1.5 pounds of the sliced white buttons. I didn’t have any heavy cream so I used a mixture of about 60% sour cream and 40% whole milk. It was perfect. I will make this again.

    Just made this tonight, delicious! I had to add an extra Tbs of flour because it wasn’t thickening and my pork chops after searing them were about 1/4 in so I only sautéed them for 4 mins and they were tender and perfect!
