Ingredients:

• 4 pork chops
• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
• ½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

Directions:

1. Prepare the Pork Chops:

• Season the pork chops generously with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of garlic salt to enhance their flavor.

1. Brown the Chops:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet and cook them until they're nicely browned on both sides. This should take about 5-6 minutes per side, depending on their thickness.

1. Add Vegetables:

• Once the chops are browned, add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion to the skillet.
• Sauté these with the pork chops for about 1 minute, just enough to start softening the onions and mushrooms.

1. Simmer with Soup:

• Pour the condensed cream of mushroom soup over the pork chops and vegetables in the skillet. The soup acts as a gravy and brings all the flavors together.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Let everything simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes. The low and slow cooking process helps the pork chops become tender and infuses them with the flavors of the soup and vegetables.

1. Serve:

• Once the pork chops are tender and cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C), remove the skillet from the heat.
• Serve the pork chops and mushroom sauce over a bed of cooked brown rice or your choice of sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.

Tips for Success:

• Choosing Pork Chops: Opt for bone-in pork chops as they tend to be juicier and more flavorful than boneless cuts.
• Mushroom Variety: While any fresh mushrooms will work, using a mix of different types like cremini, portobello, or shiitake can add an extra depth of flavor.
• Cream of Mushroom Soup: For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality or organic cream of mushroom soup, or make your own if you have time.

This recipe is not only delicious but also extremely easy to prepare, making it a perfect choice for a satisfying dinner without much fuss. Enjoy your meal with your family's favorite sides for a complete and nourishing dish!
