Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy
What’s better than pork chops covered in parmesan cheese? Pork chops covered in parmesan cheese with a mushroom gravy, of course! Yes, that is just a matter of opinion. Mike would say that I ruined the pork chops by adding the mushroom gravy. To be fair, he hates mushrooms.
If you hate mushrooms, this recipe is obviously not for you. On the other hand, if you love mushroom gravy (and pork chops and parmesan cheese), you HAVE to try this amazing recipe.
True, this recipe is not necessarily healthy. Just don’t eat too many pieces and have a salad for lunch instead. You could also eat some delicious oatmeal for breakfast if you really want to be healthy.
