Pork Chops in Mushroom Gravy

"I came up with this recipe because mom likes "soup food", and I get bored with it. Opened the cupboard and fridge and thought blue cheese and nutmeg sounded like they might work together. It sounds weird, but it tastes really good! The blue cheese adds just a little bit of tanginess to contrast with the sweetness from the nutmeg and garam masla (I used a store bought blend from McCormick - how authentic, who knows, but it tastes good!). I also used a cast iron skillet, which browns the meat very well."

  1. didn't care for the blue cheese myself but otherwise it was very good! one tip i think might be useful- adding a little milk in with the cream of mushroom soup so its not so thick. i like it more of a gravy-like consistency. thanks!
     
  2. The spices rubbed into the chop made them brownevenly & nicely. I love Blue Cheese but I was a bit hesitant however I persevered and thank goodness I did- it just gave that added touch to the sauce - I served the chop with noodles, steamed carrots & Green Beans with carmelized onion. Great comfort food for a rainy day Thanks Amy
     
  3. This was real good. I liked this alot, except I didn't know what garam marsala was, so I left that out. The instructions were very easy to follow and I made this in no time at all. Thanks for a good recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Florida with my mother and my daughter. I stay at home, so I have time to really get into cooking. I grew up cooking for my mom and my brother, and they both say I am one of the better home cooks they've met! But since my mom's idea of cooking is opening soup cans and my brother lives in NYC and eats out a lot, that may not be saying much! I am one of those people who reads cookbooks just for fun, even when I am not looking for a recipe. My favorite cookbook is "The American Woman's Cookbook" from 1930-something. My grandmother had a copy of it, and my mom found a copy for herself years ago (updated for the 1960's) and she gave me that copy when I moved out on my own. I like it more than "modern" cookbooks because it has actual recipes in it; not just heat and eat steps! When your recipe requires you to use your can opener and packet opening scissors more than your knife and spice cabinet, something is wrong! Right now, I am trying to learn to cook the cuisines of Asia, mostly India and Vietnam. I am also trying to learn to bake bread. My mom may not be able to cook without Campbell's soup, but she can bake homemade bread like no one else!
