Ingredients

4 boneless Pork Chops (about 1-inch thick)
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup whole milk
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1: Season and Sear the Pork Chops

Pat Pork Chops dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove to a plate and set aside (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet).

Step 2: Sauté Onion

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add sliced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until softened and lightly golden.

Step 3: Make Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Stir in the dried thyme, then pour in the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 4: Simmer Pork Chops in Sauce

Return pork chops (and juices) to the skillet. Spoon sauce over the pork chops, cover, and simmer on low for 12-15 minutes or until pork is cooked through (145°F interior temperature).

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with your favorite sides!

Notes

For thicker chops, increase simmering time by 5-7 minutes.
Use bone-in pork chops if preferred—just add another 3-4 minutes cook time.
If the sauce thickens too much, stir in a splash more milk as needed.

Variations

With Fresh Mushrooms: Sauté 1 cup of sliced fresh mushrooms along with the onion for extra flavor and texture.
Cheesy Version: Stir in 1/2 cup shredded Swiss or mozzarella cheese when adding the soup for a cheesy twist.
Lighter Option: Use low-fat cream of mushroom soup and skim milk to lighten up the dish.

Required Equipment

Large skillet with lid
Knife and cutting board
Measuring cups and spoons
Tongs or spatula

Storage Instructions

Cool leftovers completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, gently warm on the stove over low heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if the sauce has thickened.
Not recommended for freezing as the sauce may separate.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Cream of Mushroom Pork Chops over creamy mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or steamed rice.
Great alongside green beans, roasted carrots, or a crisp garden salad.
Don’t forget a warm dinner roll for soaking up the delicious sauce!

Pro Tips

Make sure not to overcook the pork—use a meat thermometer for best results.
Searing the chops first locks in juices and adds tons of flavor to the dish.
If you like a thinner sauce, add an extra splash of milk while simmering.

FAQ

Can I use bone-in pork chops?

Yes! Just increase the simmering time by 3-4 minutes to ensure they’re fully cooked.

What can I substitute for cream of mushroom soup?

You can use cream of chicken soup or even make your own homemade mushroom sauce if desired.

How do I keep the pork chops tender?

Don’t overcook them—simmer on low heat and remove from the skillet as soon as they hit an internal temperature of 145°F.
