Pork chops were the next item in our “meat rotation” as Larry likes to call it, so dinner was pork chops with a creamy mushroom sauce served over wild rice. YUM.
To me, the sauces are what make the meal. Pork chops on their own are fine, but they are really kind of plain and that makes them kind of boring, at least to me. So I am always trying to “sauce” them up in as many delicious ways as I can. And I did just that with this creamy mushroom sauce too.

This sauce was so easy to make and so good to eat too. You can also use this same sauce for chicken too if you like.
Pork Chops with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

2 lbs thick pork chops
salt 7 pepper to taste
olive oil
1/2 onion, diced fine
2-3 carrots, sliced
1 TBSP garlic
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 cup peas
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
4 TBSP butter, divided
Add coarse salt and cracked black pepper to the pork and let it rest for about 2-3 hours before pan frying it and browning it. Then brown it for about 2 minutes per side in a very hot pan with a combination of olive oil and about 1 TBSP of butter.


Once the pork is completely browned and has a crust to it, remove it from the heat and set it aside. In the same pan. add the carrots, onions, mushrooms and garlic and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the carrots are tender and the onions are translucent.


Add the Worcestershire sauce and seasonings. Combine well then add the broth, cream and the peas. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the rest of the butter to finish the sauce. Re-add the pork chops back to the sauce and heat thoroughly.


I served this over wild rice, but it would also go nicely with wither white or brown rice or even noodles too. I served it with a creamy chardonnay on the side, with some warmed ciabiatta. Delicious.

Stay safe and stay well Everyone. ‘Til next time.
This sauce sounds great, and I would use it with chicken, minus broth plus that creamy Chardonnay, in the sauce and then with the meal.

The sauce would be too ambitious for me โ for now. All Iโm up to is using cream of mushroom soup with extra mushrooms, onion and lima beans. Iโll add a little Worcestershire sauce next time. I prefer bone-in pork chops โ they come tenderer I think…

Interesting that you say that because the original recipe called for cream of mushroom soup. ๐ Bone is is great too, but these are pretty darn tender. ๐

I bet they are. Iโll try mine tonight. I used to be a total incompetent in the kitchen โ my wife wouldnโt let me in when she was cooking, except to grab a quick beer! But now, with the loss of my wife I find that โattemptingโ to cook takes my mind off for that time and Iโm actually getting slightly better โ or I should say, less disastrous at it. I havenโt set the smoke alarm off for a couple of weeks now.
