Skillet Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy (No Canned Soup Needed)
Tender smothered pork chops cooked in a skillet and finished in a rich mushroom gravy. All made from scratch with no canned soup. The pork is seared for a deep, savory crust, then simmered until perfectly tender in a creamy gravy with mushrooms and onions. It’s an easy, one-pan Southern dinner that’s reliable every time and perfect served over mashed potatoes or rice.
Ingredients
- 4 Pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 tablespoons Butter
- 1 Onion (large, diced)
- 8 ounce Mushrooms ( sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 Tablespoons Flour
- 1 ½ cup Chicken Stock
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
- ¼ cup Buttermilk
Instructions
- Generously salt and pepper both sides of pork chops.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the pork chops and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes each depending on how thick they are. Remove and place on a plate, tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Add butter to the skillet and add onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened then add the mushrooms and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional minute.
- Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute then gradually add chicken broth, whisking until it starts to thicken. Add buttermilk and Worcestershire and turn to low. Simmer for 10 minutes. If it gets too thick, add a little water or chicken broth.
- Add pork chops back to the mushroom mixture and coat with the gravy. Simmer for about 10 minutes until pork chops are cooked through and meat thermometer reads at least 140º.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- If you use thinner pork chops then reduce the browning time.
- Don’t skip browning the pork chops! This step brings incredible flavor to both the pork chop and the gravy.
- Make sure to fully cook the flour after you add it to the butter and onion mixture to get rid of the raw flour taste. Cook it for a full minute before adding in the chicken broth.
