Directions For Creamy Pork Chops with Spinach
- Wash off the pork chops in cold water and set in a large container or mixing bowl.
- Next, season the pork chops by lightly shaking on both sides with: garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, Spanish style paprika, coarse black pepper, garlic salt, Tony Chacheres creole seasoning, seasoning salt, parsley flakes and mushroom seasoning.
- Then, peel the outer shell off the shallots and the slice them into thin slices.
- Next, heat olive oil in large deep pan to medium high heat. So it is important that you use a deep cooking pan or even a Dutch oven, because after you add everything the chops need a deep pan to simmer in. Then add in the pork chops.
- Now, brown the pork chops for about 8 minutes on each side.
- So once the pork chops are browned on each side, remove them from the pan and set to the side on a plate.
- Now, make sure there is still some oil in the pan or add another tablespoon or two. So, all the drippings from browned pork chops have provided a seasoned base for browning the veggies.
- Next, sauté the shallots for 2-3 minutes.
- Then add in the cans of mushrooms (undrained) and continue cooking for another 3 minutes.
- Now, add in the cream of mushroom soup and stir well.
- Next, add in the frozen spinach with a 1/2 cup of water and stir well.
- Then add in the cup of heavy cream and stir. Now it is time to add back in the pork chops, along with any drippings the pork chops left on the plate.
- Simmer on low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until pork chops are very tender. So the length of time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops. Then cover the pot and as it simmers, stir occasionally (like every 15 minutes). So, if your heat is too high or the liquid starts to boil away, add more water 1/4 cup at a time.
- Once tender, the creamy pork chops with spinach are done! Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, cauliflower rice or a nice salad.
