Why This Recipe Works
Bread crumb-coated pork chops are a popular weeknight dish, but sometimes we prefer our chops naked and simply seared to perfection. For these nights, we developed a Seared Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy recipe, which dresses up simple pork chops with an easy mushrooms sauce—a tasty entrée that can be made in 30 minutes. Using presliced mushrooms enabled us to save time prepping our recipe’s ingredients, and patting the chops dry before adding them to the heated skillet resulted in a proper, crusty sear.
