One-pan pork chops smothered in rich onion-mushroom gravy — minimal prep, maximum flavor.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Optional: 1/4 cup heavy cream for extra richness

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, add butter, then onions and mushrooms. Sauté 8–10 minutes until soft and golden.
  5. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Return pork chops to skillet, nestling into the sauce.
  7. Transfer skillet to oven and bake 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  8. Optional: Stir in heavy cream just before serving.
  9. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, tent with foil after baking.
  • Boneless chops will cook faster—check at 15–20 minutes.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
