Pork Chops in Garlic Mushroom Sauce

  

Happy Memorial Day to those who lives in the USA! Let's time to remember all those who gave their lives for our country while serving in the armed forces.

  

Now, let's talk food.

 

 

This is a tasty entrée that is a 30-minute meal and fancy enough for company. The mushroom sauce is wonderful not only for the pork but also for your side dish, mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta. Make sure to adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your pork chops. I prefer bone-in chops for more flavor, they will also take a bit longer to cook. Using a digital thermometer, the internal temperature should be 145F. Choose your favorite mushrooms, like Bella or button.

• Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute
• Add flour to the skillet, stirring to remove any lumps
• Slowly add the broth, whisking until smooth
