Best Smothered Pork Chops
- Smothered with sauce but also with taste, these pork chops are so delicious. Baking them in the mushroom sauce renders this cut of meat so tender. Any extra gravy is perfect with some Homemade Mashed Potatoes, or Easy Dinner Rolls.
- Thanks to a few canned ingredients like canned mushroom soup this recipe is so easy to make. Great for those nights on the go!
Ingredients & Variations
PORK The humble pork chop is the choice of meat for this recipe. Choose a boneless or bone-in cut. The bone-in cut will have more juices and flavor, but obviously less meat. Remember to dredge in egg and flour and sear before adding to the casserole dish.
SAUCE For the gravy, cream of mushroom soup and a can of evaporated milk are combined for a creamy and delicious sauce. This is poured over the meat and then it is baked.
VARIATIONS For a homemade gravy instead of canned try this Homemade White Gravy, just add some sautéed mushroom and onions to the sauce. Fresh sliced white button or baby portobello mushrooms are great mushrooms of choice. Saute them first before adding to the recipe to bring out the meaty mushroom flavor.

Tips for Tender Pork Chops
For a flavorful and tenderness in both the meat and gravy, don’t cut the bone or trim the fat from the loin chops.
For a more tender cut of meat, tenderize the boneless chops with a meat mallet.
Make sure the chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F, followed by at least 3 minutes of rest time after removing from the oven. For best and safest results, use a meat thermometer to be sure you don’t over or undercook your pork chops.

REPIN this Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy Recipe
Wow, sounds absolutely delicious!! Will try this recipe real soon. Thank you.
Let us know how it turns out!
Didn’t say where to cover or not in oven
I make it without the evaporated milk. Excellent with mashed potatoes.
So glad to hear that you love the chops Barbara!
Can I use milk instead of evaporated milk?..
Regular milk may curdle which is why we recommend evaporated milk. Even if it curdles, it’ll still taste delicious. Let us know how it turns out if you try it.
Pork chops with milk gravy? Yikes
Yes, it’s super delicious Rusty! It’s actually my personal favorite food (of all!)!
Delicious! I doubled the recipe to make 8 pork chops (1/2 for us, 1/2 for the neighbors.) Didn’t quite need to double everything (especially egg, flour and definitely not the soup) but these pork chops were rich, creamy and a delicious hit with everyone! Served with mashed potatoes and peas. Will most definitely make again (maybe only one can of soup for 4.)
Yum! So glad you enjoyed them Lee!
Could you do the same this but use pork tenderloin instead? I’ve been trying to find a recipe that roasts the tenderloin WITH the gravy, but have not found one yet.
Hi Kelsey, we have not tried this recipe with a pork tenderloin but would love to hear how it turns out for you! You will want to check the internal temperature of your tenderloin to make sure it reaches at least 145°F.
does it matter if its bone in or no bone? If you use thick chops does timing change? Thanks
Bone in makes for more tender pork chops. If they’re really thick, you may need to cook them a little longer to make them tender. Enjoy Robin!
Dop pork chops in eggs ?
