Meal Deal

This week, we're building a hearty, satisfying dinner around the fantastic deals on pork chops and mushrooms at Fred Meyer. We'll pan-sear thick, bone-in pork chops until they have a perfect golden-brown crust, then create a rich and savory mushroom pan-gravy right in the same skillet. Served with simple roasted potatoes, it's a complete, crowd-pleasing meal that comes together for under $20.

Skillet Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy & Roasted Potatoes

Yields: 4-5 servings | Cost: About 19.49total(About3.90 per serving) | Time: About 45 minutes

Featuring deals from Fred Meyer through Aug. 19.

Ingredients

  • 1 (5-pack) center-cut bone-in pork loin chops

  • 1 (1.5 lb.) bag Private Selection gourmet potatoes, halved or quartered

  • 12 oz. Kroger baby bella mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped

  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 tbsp. olive oil, divided

  • 2 tbsp. butter

  • 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup chicken or beef broth

  • 1 tsp. dried thyme or rosemary

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Roast the Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 1 tbsp. of olive oil, salt, pepper, and half of the dried thyme. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and tender, flipping halfway through.

  2. Prepare the Pork Chops: While the potatoes roast, pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

  3. Sear the Pork: Heat the remaining 2 tbsp. of olive oil in a large cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side until deeply golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary. Transfer the cooked chops to a plate and tent with foil to rest.

  4. Make the Gravy: Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the butter to the pan drippings. Once melted, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the onions are soft, and the mushrooms have browned. Stir in the minced garlic and remaining thyme and cook for one minute more until fragrant.

  5. Finish the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom and onion mixture and stir to combine. Cook for one minute. Slowly whisk in the broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the gravy has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Serve: Serve the pork chops with the roasted potatoes, generously smothered in the mushroom gravy.

Tips

  • Don't Overcook: The most important tip for juicy pork is to not overcook it. Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure they are pulled from the heat at the right time. They will continue to cook as they rest.

  • Richer Gravy: For a richer, more complex gravy, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine or sherry after the garlic has cooked and before adding the flour.

  • Cast-Iron is King: A cast-iron skillet excels at creating an even, deep-brown crust on the pork chops.

  • Make It Vegetation: You can sub the pork chops for cauliflower steaks for a veggie take.

Cost Breakdown

  • 1 (5-pack) center-cut bone-in pork loin chops (Fred Meyer deal): $10

  • 1.5 lb. bag Private Selection gourmet potatoes (Fred Meyer deal): $2.99

  • 12 oz. Kroger baby bella mushrooms (using half of 24oz deal): $2.50

  • Pantry staples (onion, garlic, oil, butter, broth, flour, spices): approx. $4

  • Total: $19.49

  • Per serving (for 5): $3.90
