Notes
Tips and Tricks
Check Internal Temperature - Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure the pork chops reach 145°F. This keeps them juicy and safe to consume.Don't Skip the Sear - Searing the pork chops before baking adds flavor and helps lock in moisture. Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the meat.Let Them Rest - After baking, let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the meat tender.Adjust Gravy Thickness - If the gravy is too thick, add a splash of milk or water. If it's too thin, let it sit for a few minutes after baking to thicken up.
Storing and Reheating
Refrigerate - Store leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.Freeze - Place cooled pork chops in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.Reheat in Oven - Place pork chops in a baking dish, cover with foil, and reheat at 325°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until warmed through.Reheat in Microwave - Place a serving on a microwave-safe plate and cover loosely.
