🛒 Ingredients

Serves 4

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

• 1 small onion, thinly sliced

• 1 cup sliced mushrooms (white or cremini)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

• ½ cup sour cream (or heavy cream for a silkier texture)

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

🔪 Instructions

1. Season and Sear the Pork Chops

Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear pork chops 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

3. Make the Supreme Sauce

Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Mix until smooth and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

4. Simmer the Chops

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and simmer on low for 15–20 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked (internal temp: 145°F / 63°C) and tender.

🔥 Oven Option: After searing, transfer everything to a baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes.

5. Garnish and Serve

Top with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

💡 Tips for Success

• Use thick-cut pork chops for juicier results

• Don’t overcook — pork is done at 145°F; let it rest for 3 minutes before serving

• Customize the sauce — Add a splash of white wine, a pinch of thyme, or even Dijon mustard for extra depth

• Make it low-carb — Serve over cauliflower mash or zucchini noodles

🧊 Storage & Reheating

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days

• Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce

• Not recommended for freezing due to the cream base, which may separate
