When you don’t have the option of eating out, you need to be smart and creative with the meals that you make at home. All I need now is a knife and fork so I can dig in. I’ll generously spoon this scratch gravy over my fresh-from-the-oven pork chops. I wish I could explain how I feel about mushroom gravy. Of course, I’ll need some onions too and then the star of the show, mushrooms. Those brown bits and fat renderings are essential flavors! I’ll use a dry white wine to deglaze the pan and add that little hint of special flavor. Brown food tastes good, and to that end, I’m making my gravy in the same pan that I used to cook the pork chops. Once I get the pork chops into the oven, I can turn my attention to the mushroom gravy. This will go a long way to locking in moisture and adding flavor to the blank canvas that is pork. To preserve the tender meat, I’m coating my pork chops in breadcrumbs and giving them a quick fry on the stovetop before they go into the oven to finish baking. I’ve got bone-in pork chops for this dish they take a little longer to cook but they’re a little more flavorful, I think than boneless. There are two essential factors to this meal: keeping the pork tender and finding the right consistency and flavor to the gravy. The combination of salty and savory on top of juicy pork is positively drool-worthy. I think there’s something so magical about a pork chop that’s covered in a mushroom gravy. One meal we love is smothered pork chops. So, I’m always cooking and I’m always on the hunt for meals that will keep my family well-fed and satisfied. We live pretty far away from any kind of fine dining restaurants and fast food isn’t nearby either. In the same skillet, cook the onions and mushrooms until soft and caramelized, then season with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. I also like quick-and-easy meals because that’s what they are: simple food that is on the table fast. Sear the pork chops until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes on each side. I know they’ll gobble them up because it’s simple, good food. When I need a solid feed-my-hungry-family meal, then pork chops and gravy are on the menu.
