In a pan over medium heat, add the butter, sliced mushrooms, and sliced onions. Cook until golden-brown, about 5-8 minutes. (If you've already cooked the pork chops, use the same pan without cleaning it!)
1 Tablespoon Butter, 1½ cups Mushrooms, ½ Yellow onion
Add the flour, and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the flour is cooked through.
1 Tablespoon Flour
Add in the chicken broth and whisk, then the Worcestershire, and Dijon mustard. Mix again, then slowly add the heavy cream, stirring continuously.
½ cup Chicken broth, ½ cup Heavy cream, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Cook until thickened, then add salt and pepper, and serve! Garnish with fresh thyme.
1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, Salt and pepper

This is the perfect gravy for making with pan-fried pork chops! Cook the gravy in the same pan without cleaning it to preserve all those delicious drippings and browned bits. They add a ton of flavor.

Chicken stock is preferable to broth, but both will work! If you only have chicken broth or bouillon, that will work too. It may just need a little longer to thicken. If you have neither, vegetable or beef broth will work too, though the flavor will be affected.

To make delicious smothered pork chops, place the pork chops back into the gravy before it's done cooking, right after adding the rest of the ingredients. Let the pork chops simmer in the gravy for a few minutes before serving!

I love changing this simple pork gravy up by adding a splash of white wine, sherry, or Honeycup mustard. Fresh herbs are also delicious! Try adding a sprinkle of fresh parsley or rosemary.

I recommend fresh mushrooms for this recipe; however, you can also use canned mushrooms. Drain and rinse, then cook them as instructed.

You can saute a few cloves garlic in the pan before following adding the flour and broth, if you'd like a garlicky flavor for your mushroom gravy.
