Recipe for Pork Chops with Mushrooms

We love drowning our crispy pan seared pork chops in sauce, all type of sauce and any sauce or gravy that’s loaded with flavor. That’s why our test kitchen loves these pork chops in garlic mushroom sauce. Previously, we shared an excellent milk braised pork chop with mustard sauce and it was a hit. Today, it’s all about our one pork pork chops in creamy garlic mushroom sauce. It started with another batch of our easy mushroom gravy and then we started to go crazy. We doused this creamy garlic mushroom sauce on chicken and then decided we were craving pork. So again, it was another recipe creation that everyone adored in the test kitchen. We even invited some friends to come over and taste test these pork chops and it was a total hit.

Why This is Our Best Skillet Pork Chop Recipe

We love this version of the sauce with the pork because we added mustard to it. That’s the secret ingredient! The combination of mustard and earthy mushrooms in this rich sauce is a great balance. The mustard adds a nice tang to break up the richness a bit, yet this sauce is loaded with mushroom flavor and texture. Sure you can call it a garlic mushroom sauce or a garlic mushroom gravy recipe. It really doesn’t matter because you can control how thick you want your sauce to be. Add a touch more flour for a thicker consistency and you’ll have an outstanding mushroom sauce to bathe your pork chops in. It’s definitely a favorite and easy pork chop recipe for those days that you don’t have time to prep a ton of ingredients but still want a great home cooked meal of the family. Enjoy!

Instructions 

  • Season both sides of pork chops with ground paprika, salt and pepper.
