Tips for Success
- Thicker Pork Chops: If your pork chops are thicker than 1 inch, they may need a few extra minutes to cook through. Use a meat thermometer if unsure; pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Customize the Gravy: For a richer gravy, use beef broth instead of chicken broth, or even add a splash of white wine for added depth of flavor.
- Make It Creamy or Not: Heavy cream adds a luxurious texture to the gravy, but it’s optional. If you prefer a less creamy, more traditional gravy, simply omit the cream.
Serving Suggestions
Smothered Pork Chops pair well with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to absorb the savory gravy. A side of steamed or roasted vegetables, like green beans, carrots, or broccoli, rounds out the meal.
