- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms; cook and stir until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.

Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the pork chops back to the skillet; cover and simmer until the pork chops are tender and no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. Stir in some water if the mixture becomes too dry.

SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS AND SAUSAGE
Saw Emeril Lagasse prepare this on FoodTV and I could practically smell it and taste it through the screen. It was as fabulous as I thought it was going to be. I think you could use the same basic sauce for chicken and shrimp dishes as well. The sauce is to die for! Adapted from recipe in "New New Orleans Cooking" by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch.

Steps:
- Mix ingredients for seasoning mix together in a small bowl and sprinkle generously on both sides of pork chops.
- (Save the extra seasoning mix to add to the sauce later if you think it needs more seasoning--I tossed it out, and then wished I had a little bit more to make it a little spicier).
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork chops, a few at a time and cook them until they are lightly browned on both sides (about 2 minutes per side).
- Remove the pork chops to a platter and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the flour and stir constantly until the roux is the color of peanut butter, about 4 minutes.
- Add the onions, salt, and pepper.
- Cook, stirring, until the onions are slightly soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, bay leaves, chicken broth and water.
- Bring to a boil.
- Return the pork chops to the pot.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
- Add the smoked sausage and the potatoes.
- Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
- Serve with either steamed white rice or rice pilaf.
SUNDAY SAUCE WITH MEATBALLS, SAUSAGES, AND PORK CHOPS
This is my most requested recipe. By the by, if your grocer doesn't stock pancetta (an Italian-style cured bacon), you can substitute a fatty prosciutto or ordinary bacon in a pinch, but it won't be as subtle a dish. I usually never use pancetta and it is still delicious...who has 20 days to cure homemade pancetta!?!? From Fresco Trattoria.

ITALIAN-STYLE PORK CHOPS
An Italian-style version of pork chops was one of the first recipes I tried making in the early years of my marriage. I've changed it over the years to be healthier by reducing added oil and fat, and by adding in some vegetables. It works well served over hot rice. -Traci Hoppes, Spring Valley, California

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality Italian sausage. Look for sausage that is made with fresh pork and has a good balance of spices.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy skillet to pound the pork chops thin.
- Be sure to brown the pork chops and sausage in a hot skillet before adding the remaining ingredients. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
- Add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the skillet after browning the meat. This will help to deglaze the pan and add flavor to the sauce.
- Simmer the pork chops and sausage in the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. This will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the pork chops and sausage with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
Conclusion:
Pork chops with Italian sausage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the sausage adds a flavorful kick. The sauce is flavorful and rich, and it perfectly complements the pork and sausage. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
