Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can use bone-in pork chops for this recipe. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time slightly, as bone-in chops may take a little longer to cook through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
What can I substitute for cream of mushroom soup?
