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.

Delicious! So nice to have an instant pot when I’ve waited too long to start a meal.
The only thing I did differently was I had a lot of caramelized onions from our burgers and I used about ½ cup of that.
