Smothered Pork Chops with Cream of Mushroom Soup: A Delicious and Easy Recipe

When it comes to cooking pork chops, many people struggle to achieve the perfect level of tenderness and flavor. However, by following a few simple steps, you can create smothered pork chops that are both tender and flavorful. In this recipe, we'll use cream of mushroom soup as a key ingredient to add richness and depth to our dish.

To start, make sure to remove your pork chops from the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking. This will allow them to come to room temperature, which is essential for even cooking. Next, pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and add a small amount of oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops and sear them on the first side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they develop a good, dark crust. Flip the pork chops over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness.

While the pork chops are cooking, heat a can of cream of mushroom soup in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add some white wine and mushrooms to the saucepan, and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.

Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate. Pour some of the cream of mushroom sauce over the top of each pork chop, making sure they are fully coated. Then, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over the top of each pork chop for added flavor.

These smothered pork chops with cream of mushroom soup are perfect served with vegetables, mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or rice. They're also easy to make in just 30 minutes, making them a great option for a quick and delicious weeknight dinner.
