Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet and roll pork chops in flour, then brown them on both sides.
- In a bowl, mix together the mushroom soup and milk until well combined.
- Pour the soup mixture over the browned pork chops in the skillet.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the pork is tender and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in a mixture of garlic and herbs before cooking. If you don’t have mushroom soup, a homemade cream sauce with sautéed mushrooms can be a great substitute. You can also use chicken or vegetable broth to thin out the soup if desired. If you prefer a thicker sauce, allow it to simmer a bit longer.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pork chops alongside mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the creamy mushroom sauce. Steamed green beans or a fresh salad can add a nice contrast. For a heartier meal, pair with Alice'S Barbecue Beans for a delightful balance of flavors. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm them in a skillet over medium-low heat until heated through, adding a splash of milk or broth to keep the sauce creamy. Avoid microwaving as it may dry out the meat.
