Smothered Onion-Mushroom Pork Chops are a Southern classic and family favorite. Juicy pan-seared pork chops in a tasty gluten-free onion and mushroom sauce. In fact, allowing the pork chops to simmer in the sauce keeps them tender and moist. Needless to say, this is Fall comfort food at its finest. Indeed, the gravy is so flavorful you will want to lick your plate clean.Sothern Mushroom Onion Pork Chops with lots of gravy and carrots on the side.

What is Smothered Onion-Mushroom Pork Chops:

First and foremost, here is a short list of side dishes: roasted cauliflower, cauliflower rice, rice, cauliflower mash, or even mashed potatoes. As a result, these luscious pork chops are definitely one to add to your meal rotation and repertoire. Naturally, as busy moms, we are always looking for quick and easy meals to feed our family. In any case, these meal is fancy enough for company as well.

Begin by searing these pork chops for a couple of minutes per side as this will make them golden and keep them moist. Incidentally, adding flour to the oiled and caramelized onions and mushrooms is the European way of thickening sauces. Not only is it easier it is quicker and requires no second pan. In any case, the tapioca flour adheres to the oiled vegetables while slowly melting creating a compound thickened sauce. Therefore using Tapioca flour makes a gluten-free gravy.

Chef Notes:

Last but not least be sure to use tapioca flour if desiring to create a gluten-free sauce. Believe it or not, Tapioca Flour is not the same as Cassava Flour. Be sure to see my blog post on Cassava Flour Information. Checkout other Gluten-Free Southern Recipes.

In conclusion, occasionally, I decorate the finished product with a little balsamic vinegar drizzled on top with a little fresh parsley. Indeed, this dish is great for any time of year. Without a doubt, it is a Southern vintage comfort food.

Subsequently, tapioca flour can be found on Amazon.

      Kevin, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. These pork chops are so tasty with both onions and mushrooms. Tapioca is a thickening agent and gluten-free. Sending wishes for a fabulous day.
