Smothered Pork Chops

Same as most men, Grant loves pork chops! Me not so much. So I have a quick, cheap pork chop recipe that works when he makes the request.

Smothered Mustard Pork Chops:

Start by frying up the boneless pork chops in about 1T of oil over med-high heat. I use the super cheap little breakfast chops, only $4 for a pkg.

They cook quickly (4-5 min on each side) Oh, and be sure to salt and pepper them before frying.
Remove from skillet and set aside.

With the same skillet on med-high heat saute' chopped onion and mushrooms (I used 3 slices of onion and 6 mushrooms) The pan should have a crust forming on the bottom from cooking everything at a high temp.... this is what you want b/c it gives your gravy a good flavor. Once onions and mushrooms are done, slowly pour in 1/2c chicken broth. This will deglaze your pan. (it takes all the yummy burned bits and incorporates it into your sauce)

Once the broth is simmering, add 2T of dijon mustard, whisk, then 1/2 c of half/half, or heavy cream. Lower your heat to low, return your chops until ready to serve.


I serve mine over rice. Hope you like them!
