Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy
Pork chops with mushroom gravy is an easy comfort food recipe with an easy homemade gravy made with a surprise ingredient, Greek yogurt.
My dad has always made a version of this where he breaded the pork chops and cooked those then used cream of mushroom soup for the gravy but I wanted to simplify the cooking of the pork chops and I really love fresh mushrooms over canned. I’ve tweaked and tweaked this recipe until it is what it is now. Oh man is it delicious comfort food! I’m a meat and potatoes kind of girl and this totally hits the spot.
This is my favorite method for cooking pork chops because it means dinner gets on the table sooner. You quickly sear the chops and then finish them in the oven so you free yourself up to make something else! My favorite pan to use for searing is my 12 inch cast iron pan.
I like to pair this with regular mashed potatoes and broccoli for a classic meal or changing it up a bit and doing sweet potato mash and Parmesan Garlic Green Beans for a real flavor packed meal.
