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 worked really well, we used medallions of pork fillet.

    Loved the sauce which we would like to use with Chicken or Steak – I wonder if the sauce would freeze?

      Thanks for sharing, Chris. I haven’t tried freezing that to advise that but I think it could work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.

    This recipe was amazing!!! It felt easy and quick! I am obsessed. I use coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream, due to my little one having a dairy allergy, and it came out so good! Thank you for sharing!!

      Hi Terry, someone else shared this in the comments section “Tried this and it was fantastic. Didn’t have heavy cream so I used milk & a little more flour and it was just fine!” I hope that helps.

    Very tasty! I only used 1/4 teaspoon of hot sauce and that added just enough “kick” for me. I will definitely make this again.

    Hi! I actually thoroughly enjoyed this. Turned out as hoped. The only thing I have to suggest it to add the word “be” at the start of your directions…. can’t be thicker then 1/2 lol. Badly written English just turns my tummy hahaha. Otherwise, it’s awesome!

    Hi want to make this tonight but what is hot sauce ? I have tobacsco sauce would this be a good substitute?
    Many thanks 😊

      Hi Janet, hot sauce is a spicy sauce or condiment made with chili peppers. The hot sauce gives the creamy mushroom sauce a light kick. If you are concerned about it being too spicy, add less sauce or omit it completely, but it adds great flavor to the sauce. Tobasco should work here.

    I made the mushroom and pork chops today. I had to add more flour as I wanted more of a gravy . This was too watery. I will say the flavor was very good. I also did not add hot sauce as there wasn’t any in the house. I will make this again.

      Hi Vanessa, thank you for sharing that with me! 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!

    Thank you so much for this delicious recipe. My daughter can only have meat, milk, eggs, and mushrooms because of allergies, so we substituted monterery jack cheese for the flour to thicken and left several things out, but it was DELICIOUS!!
