Easy Skillet Pork Chops in Mushroom Sauce – A one pan meal your whole family will love! Ya can’t have too much gravy right?  This delicious gravy has no cream…say what?
We like to use a good old fashioned cast iron skillet to sear all our favorite protein in! Â We love this one from Lodge. Â Cheap and cheerful and does a great job!
Start by heating a bit of olive oil and butter. Â The olive oil will keep the butter from burning and the butter will help create a beautiful brown on the chop.
Season your pork chop well with salt and pepper!
What kind of pork chops should I use for this Pork Chops and Mushroom Gravy?
- you can use bone in or boneless. Loin or blad cut is fine.
- stay with a thicker chop rather than the thin sliced as they can become tough when over cooked.
- pork is cooked perfectly at 145 degrees – use a meat thermometer…please! Â These things will save you time and time again!
Once your pork chop is seared (it doesn’t need to be cooked all the way through as it will continue to cook in the gravy). Â Remove to a plate and cook up your mushrooms and onions.
Combine your beef and chicken stock along with your flour and whisk until no lumps remain.
Pour into your mushroom and onion mixture. Â Simmer until thick.
Nestle the chops on top. Â Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until pork reaches 145 degrees.
Tips for the best Skillet Pork Chops and Mushroom Gravy!
- We like to use half chicken stock and half beef stock for the gravy. It brings out the intense mushroom flavor. But if chicken stock is all ya have, no worries. Â You will still love it!
- We used Crimini mushrooms which are Portobello mushrooms before they grow up. They have a much bigger flavor than white mushrooms.
- Do not salt your mushrooms until you are done browning them. Salting fresh mushrooms before cooking can make it more difficult for them to brown.  If you salt before sautéing , you will never really know how brown your ‘shrooms can get!

The pork chops look so succulent and delicious in the mushroom gravy! Absolutely scrumptious!
Hi Marsha! Thank you so much!
This looks like the perfect weeknight meal! Love that it’s healthy too. Definitely pinning this one!
You won’t believe how good that gravy is, even without the butter! Thank you for your note!
Wow these pork chops look absolutely divine. And that gravy. . .I absolutely adore it. Even better that it is lightened up with chicken stock.
There wasn’t a drip left in the pan and it makes a ton of gravy. I got a gravy loving’ family! Thanks for your note Lynn!
This looks awesome. I love a one-skillet meal. I didn’t know about salting the mushrooms after, either! Great tip.
Hi Marianne! I saw it on a food show years ago and it really does make a difference. If you have ever had your mushrooms be a little dry and tough and not caramelize properly…salt could be the culprit! Thank you for your note!
I just made this dinner, i didnt salt or pepper the onions and mushrooms, and I only salted one side of the chops, that was enough salt, i suggest don’t salt the mushrooms, too much sodium in Chops as it is and also broth, so go easy on the salt, but what I do like to do is add 2 teaspoons of butter to the oil to Sautee the mushrooms and onions.
Arizona Franklin I add butter also to saute the mushrooms and onions but I add other seasonings and it turn out great love it
I did the same, adding a little butter for the mushrooms and onions then adding garlic s & p. Later I added some cream to the gravy before adding the chops back in . Yumm’n
Well now I know what I am making for dinner! Yummy! Looks perfect for this cold weather!
I absolutely loved this dish and so did my family. Will definitely make it again.
