Pork Chops with Cream Sauce is a solid Pinterest recipe, but I will be adding more seasonings to it the next time I make it. The sauce was a bit bland to my liking, but that can easily be fixed. This last year when we got our pig from the meat locker, all the pork chops were cut to maybe a quarter inch thick, they are very thin. I really like a nice thick pork chop, 1 inch or more for thickness. My normal way of cooking the pork chops would dry these thin ones out. So I was on the hunt for a good recipe that calls for thin pork chops. This recipe is where I landed. I thought adding a sauce would really up the game of thin cut pork chops. Next time I make this, I will serve with a wild rice so it can absorb some of the sauce.

Variations

• I used pre-grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic out of a jar.
• The sauce to me was a tad bland. I would add garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley. Italian seasoning may be good in it also.
• I would also suggest adding seasoning to the flour mixture. Garlic powder would be my first choice.
• Since you are cooking the pork chops in a sauce, I would highly suggest trimming the fat off the pork chops before cooking them.
