Ingredients:
- 6-8 pork chops

- 12-16 oz Coca-Cola
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 6 slices of mushroom
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by browning the pork chops on both sides in a skillet over medium heat until they achieve a lovely golden hue. Once done, drain any excess grease and set the pork chops aside. |
| 2 | Slice the onion and lightly fry it in the same skillet until it turns translucent and fragrant. Once the onions are cooked to perfection, remove them from the pan and set aside. |
| 3 | Now, it’s time to introduce the star ingredient – Coca-Cola! Pour the Coca-Cola into the skillet along with the prepared mustard, ketchup, sliced mushrooms, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine all the flavors. |
| 4 | Return the pork chops and onions back into the skillet, ensuring they are nestled comfortably in the Coca-Cola mixture. |
| 5 | Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the skillet with a lid, and allow the ingredients to meld together beautifully for the next 30-45 minutes. During this time, the liquid will reduce, and a thickened sauce will form, imparting incredible flavor to the pork chops. |
| 6 | Once the liquid has evaporated, and the sauce has reached the desired consistency, your Coca-Cola Pork Chops are ready to be served hot and fresh from the skillet. |
| 7 | Garnish with some freshly chopped herbs or a sprinkle of black pepper for an extra burst of flavor, and enjoy the tender goodness of these sensational pork chops with your favorite sides. |
