These pork chops au Poivre are smothered in a homemade peppered sherry cream sauce and cooked until perfection. The best part is that it’s ready in 30 minutes!
This post once again is for my brother Rob. I’m hoping he finds this delicious 🙂
The thing I most liked about this recipe is that it was easy, delicious, and not overly time-consuming.
I doubled the sauce portion of the recipe because I knew that I would like to pour more sauce on my pork than the directions called for.
I paired this hearty recipe with homemade buttermilk mashed potatoes and baked green beans. Deliciously filling.
