Ingredients
Instructions
- Trim excess fat from pork chops.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add pork chops in batches and brown about 5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, combine cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, and 1/2 cup beer or water. Cook over low heat, stirring to scrape up drippings.
- Return pork chops to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the pork chops are tender, about 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in a mixture of garlic and herbs before cooking. If you don't have fresh mushrooms, you can substitute with canned mushrooms for convenience. To enhance the sauce, a splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce can add depth. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes to soak up the creamy sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pork chops over a bed of rice or with buttery egg noodles to complement the creamy sauce. This dish pairs beautifully with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. For a hearty option, try serving with Barbecue Carrots or Bacon And Broccoli Salad for a delightful contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over low heat with a splash of broth or water to keep them moist, or microwave in short intervals to avoid drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen pork chops for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen pork chops, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking. This allows for even cooking and better flavor absorption. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or use the defrost setting on your microwave.
What can I substitute for the cream of mushroom soup?
If you prefer a lighter option, homemade mushroom sauce can be made by sautéing fresh mushrooms with butter and cream. Alternatively, a can of cream of chicken soup can also work in a pinch, providing a different but still delicious flavor.
How do I know when the pork chops are cooked through?
Pork chops are safely cooked when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. Once done, let them rest for a few minutes to retain juices before serving.
