Pork Chops with Mushrooms, Dill, and Sour Cream Sauce

Pork Chops with Mushrooms, Dill, and Sour Cream SauceI saw this recipe on Closet Cooking and knew instantly I needed to make it. It reminded me of my Hungarian Mushroom Soup, which I LOVED, so I was excited to give this recipe a try. The pork turned out moist and tender while the sauce was tangy and so flavorful! I served the pork over whole-wheat egg noodles that had been tossed with fresh baby spinach. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish was awesome. My husband and I really, REALLY liked the meal but both of my kids thought it was just okay. Thanks for the fantastic recipe, Kevin.

How to Make Pork Chops with Mushrooms, Dill, and Sour Cream Sauce

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season both sides of the pork with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Cook the pork for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Set the meat aside to rest under a tin foil tent.

Add the butter to the same skillet and add the onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until slightly tender. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, flour, and paprika. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the dill and beef broth, deglazing the pan, making sure to scrape up any browned bits. Simmer until thickened then add the sour cream and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Cook the egg noodles per instructions while the sour cream sauce is cooking. Once the noodles are done, drain the water then toss the noodles with the fresh spinach. The hot noodles will cook the spinach just slightly.

Place the full pork chop on top of the noodles and spinach then top with the sauce. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

  1. This looks so good! With the noodles it looks like a pork version of beef stroganoff. Thanks for sharing!

  2. This is one of my very favorite recipes. The sauce is absolutely to die for and when I found out there was a SOUP with the same ingredients, it blew my mind. I make the soup more often that the sauce, but I will have to revisit this recipe very soon.
    Oh, and I feel for you Chris. I hate it when the family doesn’t like something I love. Luckily, that is not a problem with this dish. In fact, when my son sees me making this, he shouts for joy. LOL

  3. to Chris and other moms, I put aside some pork and noodles for my picky eater. Then add some butter , maybe some cream, frozen veggie, garlic. Bamm you get what you want and they get supper to.
