Why It Works
Searing the chops first builds a flavorful base for the sauce. A splash of broth and cream turns the mushrooms into a silky pan sauce.

Storage & Reheat
Store:
Store up to 3 days.
Reheat:
Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth or cream.
Swaps
No heavy cream? Use the same amount of evaporated milk here; the result will be a little lighter and less rich.
Avo's Tip
Brown the mushrooms undisturbed for a minute so they caramelize instead of steaming.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start cooking.
What mushrooms work best?
Cremini or white mushrooms hold up well; a mix adds depth.
Bone-in or boneless?
Either; bone-in stay juicier, boneless cook faster.
What should I serve with it?
Mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice catch the sauce.
Quick Fixes
Sauce too thin: simmer a minute longer to thicken.
Chops overcooked: pull at 145°F; they finish in the sauce.
Want more depth: add a splash of Worcestershire.
