Cast Iron Skillet Garlic Butter Pork Chops

It's no secret that I love cooking in my cast iron skillets. These pork chops are so easy to make, you can have a meal on the table in about 30 minutes. I used my Lodge 12-inch cast iron skillet for this delicious recipe. Browned on the stovetop and then oven baked with the garlic butter.

What I used for Garlic Butter Pork Chops:

2 pork chops 3/4 to 1-inch thick

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons butter (Melted)

4 cloves garlic (3 cloves pressed into butter 1 clove minced in pan)

2 cups sliced mushrooms (Optional)

Salt and Pepper to taste.

Directions for Garlic Butter Pork Chops:

1. Melt the 3 tablespoons of butter in the microwave, and using a garlic press add 3 cloves of garlic and give it a good stir. Set aside for later.
2. Add the olive oil to the bottom of the skillet and let heat up over medium heat.
3. Salt and pepper the pork chops to taste.
4. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
5. Add the clove of minced garlic to the pan and then the pork chops.
6. Brown the pork chops for about 2 to 4 minutes per side.
7. Add the mushrooms after the 1st side is browned. 
8. Pour the garlic butter over the pork chops and place the pan in the oven.
9. Bake until the internal temperature of the pork chops is at least 145 to 150 degrees.

I love mushrooms, but if you are not a fan of mushrooms try using fresh green beans or even brussel sprouts. I served the pork chops with mushrooms and baked potatoes. Click here for my Air Fryer Baked Potatoes.

Cast Iron Skillet Pork Chops

It's winter here in Western New York, and there is nothing better to get you through those cold days than some good fashioned comfort food. I decided to make some cast iron skillet pork chops.

This is another quick and easy meal to put on the table after a long day at work. Fran picked up some thin cut bone-in pork chops at the grocery store the other day. I had everything else that I needed to make these cast iron skillet pork chops.

First I minced a clove of garlic and chopped a medium onion. Heated 2 tablespoons of olive oil in my cast iron skillet. Then I cooked the garlic, and onions with 2 cups of fresh sliced mushrooms until they were tender. About 5 to 7 minutes over medium heat.

I removed this from the pan into another bowl. I added the four pork chops and browned them on both sides. Seasoned with salt and pepper. About 5 minutes per side.

After the pork chops were browned, I returned the mushroom mixture back into the skillet. Then added a 12oz. jar of Heinz Pork Gravy. I covered the skillet and let it cook for 20 minutes over medium heat.

4 Thin cut bone-in pork chops

2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
1- 12oz jar pork gravy
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Heat the oil in the cast iron skillet and cook the mushrooms, garlic, and onions over medium heat until tender.
2. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Brown the pork chops on both sides seasoned with salt and pepper. About 5 minutes per side.
4. Return the mushroom mixture, pour in the gravy, cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes.

That's all there is to it. In about 40 minutes you'll have this delicious comfort food on the table and your family is going to love it. Serve with your favorite vegetable or baked potato. We had baked sweet potatoes as our side dish.

Note: I used thin cut pork chops. If you use a thicker cut of chops you may want to cook for more than 20 minutes. The guideline internal temperature for pork is 145 degrees with 3 minutes of rest time.
