    How do you make gravy for pork chops?

    The best part about making smothered pork chops is that the gravy is part of the meal! Not only sauce the sauce keep the pork extra moist, but you can continue to smother it after it's plated.

    For this particular recipe, my gravy is a mixture of onion, chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream. I am quite particular with the type of cream of mushroom soup that I use and love the kind Trader Joe's offers.

    Great side dish suggestions to go with smothered pork chops:

    • I'm a big fan of mashed potatoes. Two of my favorite mashed potato recipes are my Gorgonzola Celery Root Mashed Potatoes and my Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
    • Prefer sweet potatoes instead? You might want to try making my Mashed Sweet Potatoes recipe.
    • You can't go wrong with a perfectly cooked baked potato. Like, ever. You'll never make them any other way once you make my Pressure Cooker (Instant Pot) Baked Potatoes.
    • You always need some kind of green veggie on your dinner plate!  Here are some of my favorite options: Bacon Wrapped Asparagus, Perfect Garlic Sauteed Asparagus, Wilted Garlic Spinach, and Roasted Brussels Sprouts Salad.

      I just made this recipe and parts of it I loved and a few parts I'd change. The gravy is amazing! It smells great with all that garlic and was great over cauliflower rice. The pork chops also had a nice flavor to them. The only change I'd make is I wouldn't cook them in an instapot and instead maybe cook them on my stove top or oven. I used beautiful bone-in pork chops and the instapot makes them fall apart and off the bone. I didn't really enjoy the texture of soft pork chops. The bone-in ones also have a nice bit of fat that if cooked on the stove or oven would caramelize but in the instapot was just mushy fat. I'd definitely cook the sauce part in the instapot maybe with some pork scraps for flavor. Maybe a good sauce for a whole pork loin. The pork chops themselves maybe they'd be really good browned in a pan in some butter first and finished in the oven to give them a nice crust and then added to the sauce for a short time. Anyways, I really enjoyed the recipe and its given me great ideas. Thanks.

      If I want extra gravy should I double the soup, broth, and sour cream? Thanks.

        Hi Jessica, If it were me, I would increase the time from like 8min to 12min. Once you open the lid, be sure to stick one with a thermometer and make sure it reads at least 145F. If it doesn't, I would close the lid and cook for a few more minutes.

        Yes! As long as your Instant Pot is big enough.

        Hi Val, The way I did it was remove the browned pork chops, put the rack in, and then everything back in. The broth goes to the bottom but the pork chops and most of the onions sit on top. No idea if that's really necessary, but that's how I did it and the result was really good!
