How to Make Mushroom Gravy
- In a skillet over medium heat, add 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!)
- Add the flour, and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the flour is cooked through.
- Add in the chicken broth and whisk, then the Worcestershire, and Dijon mustard. Mix again, then slowly add the heavy cream, stirring continuously.
- Cook until thickened, then add salt and pepper, and serve! Garnish with fresh thyme leaves (optional).

Pork Chop Gravy Recipe Tips
- 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.
Mushroom Sauce Without Cream
Looking to whip up a delicious mushroom gravy, but without the heavy cream? Try thickening the sauce with a simple roux of equal parts butter and flour, instead of using cream! Or, swap out the cream for canned coconut milk- just keep in mind it will add a subtle coconut flavor.
Pork Chops and Gravy FAQ
The true secret to juicy pork chops is simple: don't overcook them! Pork chops should be cooked to 145°F. This fully cooks them while leaving them juicy, tender and delicious. Cooking them in gravy can also ensure deliciously juicy pork chops. Check out my Pork Temperature Chart for more information!
Mushroom gravy is a brown gravy made from mushrooms, broth, and cream, plus a little flour to thicken it. Add-ins such as onions, herbs, and butter can make it extra delicious!
Dietary Restrictions
- Gluten-Free: This gravy recipe for pork chops is easily made gluten-free by swapping out the flour 1:1 with your favorite gluten-free flour blend.
- Dairy-Free: Swap out the butter for olive oil, and skip the heavy cream. Add a little more flour or a can of coconut milk to make it creamy!
- Keto: This recipe only uses 1 Tablespoon of flour (6 net carbs), so it's a great keto gravy. But, if you want to avoid flour as a whole, skip it and let the gravy simmer for longer to get a little thicker.
