Ingredients
Instructions
- Cover the pork chops with spicy mustard.
- Melt butter in a skillet and fry the chops until browned and the mustard starts to fall off.
- Sauté the chopped onion in the reserved butter.
- Add flour and stir until the mixture is thin and brown.
- Pour in the canned Pet milk and stir until the sauce thickens, adding water if necessary.
- Add the pork chops back into the skillet and simmer for 1 hour until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops in spicy mustard for a few hours before cooking. If you prefer a milder taste, consider using Dijon mustard instead of spicy mustard. You can substitute the Pet milk with regular milk or cream if needed, but keep in mind this will alter the final texture and richness of the sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the creamy pork chops over a bed of rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. For a complete meal, pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. This dish also pairs beautifully with Ham And Potato Bake for a hearty family dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pork chops in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or milk to help retain moisture. Cover the skillet to ensure even heating and prevent the pork from drying out.
