These Sour Cream Pork Chops were one of my favorite meals as a child. My mom made them many times throughout my childhood, but I never did get the exact recipe.
Many years ago, I had a craving for them, so I set out to make them according to how I remember them tasting and this is what I came up with. I didn’t get the recipe exactly the same, but I got it pretty darned yummy, if I do say so myself.
These pork chops are tender and moist and uber creamy 🙂
If you are having a busy day or week, these chops are perfect for an easy dinner. Really, you just salt and pepper the chops, mix the sour cream mixture, cook the onions and mushrooms, then brown the chops and bake. Viola!
AND, one very important part of the picture is you will only dirty one pan making these, so cleanup is fairly easy! That is a win-win, as far as I am concerned! Easy to prepare and easy cleanup makes this recipe a stellar idea for a weeknight meal.
These tender, creamy pork chops pair perfectly with mashed potatoes and/or my Garlic Spinach recipe…yum! You’re in for a treat.
Do not overcook!
HELPFUL HINTS FOR SOUR CREAM PORK CHOPS
My Kelsey doesn’t really care much for pork chops, so I tried adding two chicken breasts in with my pork chops and, guess what? They were delicious, too!
My favorite chops for this dish are boneless and really thick…that way they stay nice and moist, if you don’t overcook them.
In case you don’t know, the French fried onions I’m talking about can be found in the salad dressing isle. Some come in a plastic container and some come in a bag.
If you don’t like mushrooms, leave them out. If you don’t have any, leave them out, it will still be good.
