I promise you, the sauce is the magic ingredient in this recipe

I remember the first time I tried this recipe for Skillet Pork Chops with Mushroom Sauce. It was a cold winter evening, and I was searching for a comforting and satisfying meal to warm up our home. As the savory aroma filled the kitchen, I couldn't help but get excited about how delicious it would taste. From the very first bite, our taste buds were in heaven.

The juicy and tender pork chops, perfectly seared in a skillet, paired with the rich and creamy mushroom sauce, created a symphony of flavors that left us craving for more. This recipe has since become a family favorite, and I often find myself reminiscing about that chilly winter night whenever I prepare it. Trust me, once you try this recipe, you'll understand why it's worth saving and making time and time again.

Ingredients:

4-6 pork chops
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup Parmesan cheese
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dry oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 3 cups spinach, chopped and red pepper flakes

Instructions:

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil or butter. Place the pork chops in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté them for a few minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender.

Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, dry oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for a couple of minutes until it thickens slightly.

If using spinach, add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.

Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the mushroom sauce over them. Allow them to cook together for another minute or two to heat through.

Serve the skillet pork chops with mushroom sauce hot, and optionally, garnish with some additional Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, if desired.
