Pan-seared pork chops with a smooth, creamy mustard sauce. An easy dinner that takes just 15-minutes to make!
I just realized I’ve posted about a thousand chicken recipes lately, and it was high time I shared a dinner idea with another favorite meat: pork!
Life is about to get crazier with school starting, sports, and holidays. We’re approaching my favorite time of year! So it’s my goal to share as many easy and fast dinner ideas with you all as I can to make your weeknights a little less crazy. Pork is so easy to cook and makes a nice change.
This recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks for quick dinner ideas: Cooking Light Cookbook. You pan-sear the pork, and then make a simple creamy mustard sauce that is spooned on top. It takes less than 15 minutes to make and it’s completely delicious!
The mustard sauce is mild–my two year old loves it! This is a really simple and yummy dinner your family is going to love!

Delicious! Only thing I changed was to make the sauce and then spoon some on the pork and bake it. It was absolutely delicious. Thank you for the recipe. We ate it with a Pfanne (I live in Germany). It is par boiled edge potatoes and then fried and then add steamed broccoli and red peppers. I kept some au jus to put on the Pfanne part. Everything was so great! Thanks again. My 2 and 1/2 year old even loved it

This is a wonderful recipe. I sauteed some mushrooms in butter, garlic and salt and added them on top. Delicious!!!

Love that idea! Sounds delicious.
Holly says
Made it, turned out perfect. Will definitely make again. Quick, easy, and mostof all delicious. I made California blend veggies, and long grain wild rice. Both tasted great with the sauce also.

Thanks I would assume that it would be good for as long as the mustard, mayo and honey is good right!!
