Mushroom pork chops
6
25 minutes
4 hours
4 hours 25 minutes
2 pounds bone-in pork chops
2 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
7 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup flour
1½ cups water
2 tablespoons butter
1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup cream
1½ salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
Put a large sauté pan on high heat. Add in oil. When oil just starts to smoke, add in pork chops. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will steam the pork chops rather than browning them. Brown in batches as needed. Adjust the heat as needed as well.
Set aside browned pork chops. In the same pan, add in butter. Sauté mushrooms and garlic for 5-7 minutes until soft.
Add flour into pan. Cook for another 3-5 minutes. Be sure you are stirring constantly to prevent the flour from burning.
Deglaze the pan with water and scrape off all the little bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Allow to simmer and thicken for 3-5 minutes.
In a 6-quart slow cooker, add the mushroom mixture, mustard and cream. Mix well.
Add in the pork chops. Press into sauce.
Cook on low for 4 hours.
Serve with rice, pasta and/or vegetables.
Tip: If you're in a rush and don't want to brown pork chops or sauté mushrooms, just throw everything straight into the slow cooker. Be sure to mix well to avoid any clumps of flour. Cook on low for 6 hours.
