FAQs
Q: Can I use bone-in pork chops?
Absolutely! Bone-in pork chops stay extra juicy. Just add about 30 more minutes of cooking time if baking.
Q: Can I use cream of mushroom soup instead?
Yes! It gives a slightly deeper, earthier flavor that’s equally delicious.
Q: How can I thicken the gravy?
If the gravy is too thin after cooking, you can stir in a little cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) and simmer until thickened.
Q: Can I freeze the leftovers?
Definitely. Store them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw and reheat gently.
