Enjoy a hearty and flavorful meal with pan-fried pork chops and mushroom rice. Juicy pork chops, seasoned and seared to perfection, are complemented by a savory mushroom rice. This easy-to-make dish is perfect for a satisfying dinner.
Rinse and dry the pork chops. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the pork chops.
Heat a cast iron or heavy bottomed pan on medium/high heat. Add the olive oil and butter and cook until the butter is melted and starting to foam.
Brown the pork chops on both sides and remove from the pan.
Drain off excess oil and add the mushroom soup, sour cream, water and beef base to the pan. Whisk until smooth. Add the pork chops back to the pan and simmer 3-4 minutes to ensure the pork chops are fully cooked and the sauce is heated through.
Remove the pork chops and some reserved sauce if desired.
Add the rice pilaf to the pan and fold gently to combine.
Serve immediately with vegetable of choice and top with some gravy if desired.
