Super tender pork chops with a creamy mushroom gravy. This is comfort food at its finest and it is really quick and easy dinner to make.
These pork chops are cooked to almost spoon tender. The creamy mushroom sauce is just begging for a pile of mashed potatoes.
The simple ingredients come together quick and easily for a delicious, stick to your rib kind of meal. This easy recipe is a great way to get supper on the table without a lot of fuss. It will leave everyone feeling full and satisfied!
This has always been a favorite of our whole family. It is nothing fancy, but it is always so good.
MiMi doesn’t know where she got the original recipe, but she has been making it for as long as I can remember. I really like thicker bone on pork chops for this, but really any pork chops will do.
This particular day the meat counter didn’t have any. So I had to make due with thick cut pork loin chops. Don’t worry, they were still delicious!
When you make cream of mushroom pork chops, plan to make mashed potatoes and green beans. You have to have them. It is just how it goes.
These juicy pork chops make for a perfect meal on a cold and snowy evening. The classic combination of pork chops and creamy mushroom soup is so warm, comforting and filling.
But don’t limit yourself to one season, they are also delicious on a spring day. Or summer. Or fall. We really love it all year long.
We normally make pork chops and mushroom soup gravy in an electric skillet. You could also make it on the stove top or in a slow cooker.
My whole extended family fell in love with Cavender’s Greek Seasoning for a long stretch of my childhood. It went on everything, eggs, vegetables, meat… whatever we ate.
My aunts, grandma and mom all had it in their spice cabinet and it came out often. So it is no surprise that we generally put it on these pork chops as well.

If you don’t have Cavender’s, a healthy dose of salt, pepper and garlic will go a long way. Just look at this, it is comfort on a plate.
Tips and Tricks
We like using a large electric skillet for making these pork chops. It offers a lot of surface area for browning, room for the gravy and great temperature control.
An electric skillet is not absolutely necessary though. You can place browned pork chops in a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-4 hours.
You can also make them in a big pan on the stove. Just keep the heat low once you add the gravy and everything will be great!
If you don’t want to fuss with mashed potatoes, the gravy would also be great over egg noodles or rice. We just tend to always default to mashed potatoes and green beans as our side dishes.
If you would like more mushrooms in your sauce, feel free to sauté some fresh mushrooms and add them to the gravy. The sauteed mushrooms can be added at the same time as the mushroom soup or at the end of the cooking time, it will be delicious either way.
Pork chops should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 145F measured on a meat thermometer. Usually overcooking your pork chops dries them out and makes them tough.
However, these thick chops are slow cooked in a sauce, so they remain tender even when they are cooked to well done. This great recipe really is the perfect way to enjoy chops if you have had a bad experience with dry pork chops in the past.

Very good!
Thanks! It’s one of my favorites!
This is wonderful with the Cavender spice (I made it homemade) I made mashed sweet potatoes with it. So Good !!! Thank you for the recipe.
Isn’t the Cavender good in it?! I am so glad you liked it!
Made this for many, many years! One item I add that gives a lovely color to the soup/gravy is…Kitchen Boquet…adds even more flavor and added color to the gravy!
That sounds really good, we will have to try it next time!
