Pork Chops in Mushroom Gravy Recipe Tips
- Scrape up the brown bits. When you're cooking the gravy, make sure to scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. This will make the sauce taste even better.
- Don't use thicker than ½" pork chops. The pork chops, bone-in or boneless, should not be thicker than ½" or will not cook through. If your chops are thicker, use a meat mallet to shape them to ½".
- Internal temperature should be a minimum of 145°F. The searing time will be a little less when you're cooking boneless pork chops. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature; this helps cook any meat.
- For 6 servings, use 6 pork chops and multiply your other ingredients by 1.5. For double the serving, double all ingredients. You will most likely need to cook in two batches when cooking for 6 and definitely will need to do so for cooking double the amount.

Pork Chop Temps
| Cut | Internal Temperature |
|---|---|
| Boneless Pork Chops | 145°F |
| Bone-in Pork Chops | 145°F |
Regardless of the cooking method, both bone-in and boneless pork chops require an internal temperature of 145°F to be cooked through. Although the standard used to be higher, you are over-cooking your pork if you cook it further than 145°F. See my Pork Temperature Chart.
Mushroom Gravy Pork Chops FAQ
The secret to juicy mushroom gravy pork chops is to start with well-marbled pork chops and season them generously. The rich mushroom gravy not only adds flavor but also helps keep the chops moist.
This dish is a perfect make-ahead meal to impress your friends when hosting a party, or for making earlier in the day before serving dinner. Cook it ahead of time, then reheat it in the mushroom gravy minutes before serving. The gravy heats up perfectly, giving you time to relax and enjoy your guests or your family.
This pork recipe is so versatile. You can use any mushrooms you like in this recipe. They all work well, from button mushrooms to portobello mushrooms, to mixed sliced mushrooms.
This is up to preference! Although we use bone-in pork chops for this recipe, you can use either boneless or bone-in, whichever you prefer.
Bone-in pork chops tend to be more tender than boneless. Make sure to give them plenty of seasoning. Letting them rest while you're cooking the gravy is key to their tenderness, as is reheating them with the gravy spooned on top.
How to Store Pork Chops in Mushroom Gravy
- Allow the Pork Chops and Gravy to Cool: After cooking the pork chops in mushroom gravy, let them cool to room temperature. This helps prevent condensation inside the storage container, which can lead to moisture and spoilage.
- Choose the Right Container: Use an airtight container or resealable plastic bags for storage. Make sure the container is large enough to accommodate the pork chops and gravy without overcrowding.
- Portion the Pork Chops and Gravy: If you have multiple pork chops, consider dividing them into individual portions before storing them. This makes it easier to reheat only what you need without reheating the entire batch.
- Label and Date: Use a label or marker to write the date of storage on the container. This helps you keep track of freshness.
- Refrigerate or Freeze: Depending on when you plan to use the pork chops, you can either refrigerate or freeze them:
- Refrigeration: If you plan to consume the pork chops within 3-4 days, store them in the refrigerator.
- Freezing: If you want to store them for a longer period, freeze the container. Pork chops in gravy can be stored in the freezer for 2-3 months. Make sure the container is freezer-safe.
- Thawing and Reheating:
- To thaw frozen pork chops in gravy, place them in the refrigerator overnight.
- Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are safe to eat.

Long ago, I made pork chops & gravy using mushroom soup. Then along came our keto diet, and this dish was forgotten - until now. This recipe is absolutely fantastic, much better than with canned mushroom soup and healthier, too. Since we love gravy, I increased the gravy to 1 1/2x the recipe amount and also substituted arrow root for the flour (to follow keto). After adding the browned chops to the gravy, I covered & simmered for about an hour. Fork tender and awesome. Thank you for sharing. We will be having this again and again.

This gravy was just lovely. We had a pork tenderloin that needed using and with some very minor mods this worked beautifully. Served with (store bought) mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts. Really wonderful! Thanks so much for this easy and delicious recipe.
