Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy is about to become one of your family’s dinnertime favorites. In this delectable recipe, juicy pork chops are lightly breaded and fried, then baked in a cream of mushroom gravy that’s to die for.
Thanks to a few canned ingredients this recipe is much easier to make than anyone would believe when they see it on the table. Serve it with roasted potatoes and parmesan zucchini or a fresh spinach strawberry salad for a dinner feast to satisfy a hungry crowd.

Let’s Make It
You won’t believe how quick this dish comes together. For a flavorful and tenderness in both the meat and gravy, don’t cut the bone or trim the fat from the loin chops! Does it get any easier?
To Make the Casserole:
- Dip the chops in egg, then dredge in seasoned flour.
- Sear in oil until lightly browned on both sides.
- Place seared chops in a baking dish and layer with sliced onions and mushrooms.
To Make the Mushroom Gravy:
- In a bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup with evaporated milk.
- Pour the soup and milk mixture over the mushroom layer.
- Bake until pork is done and gravy is bubbling.
Let it rest for a few minutes then serve.
You can substitute fresh sliced white button or baby portobello mushrooms. Saute them first before adding to the recipe to bring out the meaty mushroom flavor.
What Temperature To Cook Pork Chops To
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture pork is safe to eat at an internal temperature of 145°F, followed by at least 3 minutes of rest time after removing from heat. For best and safest results, use a meat thermometer to be sure you don’t over or undercook your pork chops.
How to Thicken Gravy
This recipe creates a fairly thick gravy, especially since it’ll be baking uncovered and much of the excess moisture will cook off. The light breading on the chops also provides some thickening action.
But for a thicker sauce, make a slurry from 1 tablespoon of flour whisked in ¼ cup water. Stir it into the mushroom soup and evaporated milk mixture before pouring into the pan.
If you’ve never mixed flour and water, here’s how to keep it from getting lumpy:
- Place the flour in a small bowl.
- Dribble the water in slowly, rapidly whisking and mashing the lumps as you go.
Tip: Make sure the mixture is smooth before adding more water. Continue adding water slowly until you achieve a pourable consistency.
Serve Pork Chops with these Sides
You’ll want something starchy to soak up all that luscious gravy. Fluffy rice or buttered noodles are my favorites.
To complete the presentation, serve with toasty and cheesy breadsticks and some oven-roasted asparagus or parmesan roasted leeks. Now that’s a meal fit for a king!

Let us know how it turns out!
Barbara says
I make it without the evaporated milk. Excellent with mashed potatoes.
The Shortcut Kitchen CH says
So glad to hear that you love the chops Barbara!
Jennifer says
Can I use milk instead of evaporated milk?..
The Shortcut Kitchen CH says
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
CentsLess Meals C says
Yes, it’s super delicious Rusty! It’s actually my personal favorite food (of all!)!
Lee Cleveland says
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.)
Centsless Meals SN says
Yum! So glad you enjoyed them Lee!
Kelsey says
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.
Centsless Meals SN says
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.
robin says
does it matter if its bone in or no bone? If you use thick chops does timing change? Thanks
CentsLess Meals C says
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 ?
