Sabrina’s Creamy Mushroom Pork Chops Recipe
Pork Chops with creamy mushroom sauce are a fantastic weeknight main course because of how quickly you can put together an entree that tastes like it took hours. As far as rich, thick sauce for pork chops go, using a can of creamy mushroom soup is a great shortcut that tastes amazing and makes this easy dinner recipe even easier.

About this Recipe
This version of smothered pork chops won’t take all afternoon to make because it uses creamy mushroom soup to make a decadent, yet easy, gravy that just tastes as if it took you much longer to make! And if you want to make this a homemade meal, use my homemade Condensed Mushroom Soup recipe that I use in all these recipes. You can make it ahead of time, too, and still make this a quick and easy meal for a weeknight.
Chef’s Note: Safe Temperature to Eat
According to the USDA, pork chops are completely cooked through and ready to eat when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (62.7 degrees C). You should always check the thickest part of the pork chops with a meat thermometer to make sure that they’re completely cooked through before you serve them up.
Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?
The best thing about this delicious recipe is that when you sear the pork, it comes out golden brown, crisp, and tender all at the same time. Creamy Mushroom Pork Chops are a quick, easy dinner to make on a busy weeknight. You can also make it a day or two ahead of when you want to serve it up to save yourself some time. This easy recipe is one that you’ll want to break out again and again when you’re pressed for time but can’t stand to hit up one more drive-through.
What to Pair With
These pork chops are great with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables covered in sauce. This particular recipe calls for bone-in pork chops, but you can also use it for boneless chops just as easily; the cook time may differ slightly.
How to Store
- Serve: You shouldn’t leave these loin chops out at room temperature for longer than about 2 hours.
- Store:Â You can keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Always let them cool down to room temperature before you seal them up and put them away.
- Freeze:Â You can freeze cooked Creamy Mushroom Pork Chops for up to 3 months. You want to make sure that the pork chops are tightly sealed to prevent freezer burn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pork chops are traditionally thin, so they cook really quickly. Overcooking them makes them tough.
This kind of pork chop dish goes best with simple starches like rice or potatoes, and light veggies like green beans or broccoli.
That’s okay, I use a large heavy pan that has a larger base than the skillet I am cooking with. You can alternately use a large cookie sheet and weigh it down with a second pan, or use a sheet of foil (the hard part here will be crimping against a hot pan so use pot holders if you use foil). You just want to keep the moisture in your pan.
Variations
- Add-ins: Add a few minced garlic cloves and paprika to make garlic Mushroom Pork Chops. You could also add a dash of white wine to the skillet to add a little moisture to the pork chops while you sauté them.
- Condensed Cream Soups: Try out cream of celery or cream of chicken for a twist on the gravy flavor in this dish.
- Mushroom Overload: If you love mushrooms, serve these pork chops with rice using my Mushroom Rice recipe and a side of roasted garlic mushrooms for an explosion of earthy, delicious flavor!

Your pictures all show bone-in chops. (They look delicious!)
But… I always buy half loins & cut my own chops.
Would boneless loin chops work the same way?
I think so. Let us know if you tried the recipe and if so, what are your thoughts?
We fixes this tonightt or dinner and it was beyond wonderful. Thanks Sabrina.
Delicious – I love pork chops! Great Recipe!

That mushroom sauce is heavenly! So good with juicy pork chops
Okay, this looks FANTASTIC. I can tell this is going to be a family favorite.. can’t wait to try!
I made this last night and it was great and very easy
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Sabrina: I love the format of your site. I can jump to the recipe and see what I might have to shop for immediately. Not like some where you have to dig and look to find the recipe. I love the format, but I have one suggestion………… can we have a photo of the dish when it is printed. Some of them look so mouthwatering, then I print them and I don’t know what it looked like. I am not interested in the nutrition facts, so I waste paper when then are printed on a separate page. But sometimes they are not, so if they are always that way, I would ask for the page 1 only. I have deleted all other food sites, and I love yours. The food is practical and good!
I’m so glad you’re loving the site! Thanks for the feedback. I can send that information to my site developer and see what can be done.
Sabrina, I love your site. I’m now retired and have started cooking duties at home (Lord help me). Do you have any suggestions for really tender pork chops, I seem to be hit and miss on the tenderness.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the site. You can always tenderize the pork by hitting with a meat mallet evenly across the surface. It’ll help to break up the tough muscle. Enjoy!
I am retired and started sharing cooking with my wife. I have been using your recipes for six months and except when I make a mistake or two your recipes have all been great.
Wife wings it when cooking but she wanted to make enchilada sauce. I told her to use your recipe. After h the lt an hour of discussing pros and cons of winging it she finally tried your recipe. She now shares this recipe with our friends.
Thank you for taking the time to do this and help new cooks to cook great meals.

Aw, I’m so happy to hear that you are both enjoying the recipes and it’s something you can do together. Thank you for coming back to let me know. Hope to see you trying more recipes and letting me know how they turn out!
Mushroom porkchop so easy and delicious I had button mushroom iui on in fridge so I slice them and added so so good. Think I’m gonna try recipe with chicken how should i adjust
If you use chicken, I would use chicken thighs. The cooking time is going to be about the same, just make sure it gets up to temp.
I want to make these in a crockpot, how would I go about doing that?
Season your pork chops, brown on both sides, then add to a slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients. You will also want add more liquid so either another can of cream of mushroom or cream of chicken, plus a can worth of broth/water. Cook low 7-8 hours. Hopefully I will get my full slow cooker mushroom pork chops on the site soon 🙂
