Pork Cutlets in Mushroom Gravy is a comforting, rich dish that brings together tender, pan-fried pork cutlets and a savory mushroom gravy. The combination of juicy pork and creamy, earthy mushrooms creates a meal that is both satisfying and indulgent. This dish is perfect for a family dinner, a special occasion, or any time you want to enjoy a comforting, flavorful meal without too much fuss.
The pork cutlets are the star of the dish, and they cook quickly, making this meal ideal for busy weeknights. After lightly seasoning and pan-frying the cutlets, they develop a golden, crispy exterior while remaining juicy on the inside. The cutlets are then smothered in a rich, savory mushroom gravy that’s made with fresh mushrooms, onions, garlic, and a splash of white wine or broth. The mushrooms add an earthy, umami flavor to the gravy, while the creaminess of the sauce balances the richness of the pork.
The mushroom gravy is what makes this dish truly special. It’s easy to make and can be prepared in the same pan used to cook the pork, allowing the flavors to build as the pork releases its juices. The gravy is thickened with a bit of flour or cornstarch, and seasoned with herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley for added flavor. The result is a smooth, velvety sauce that coats the pork cutlets perfectly, creating a satisfying and indulgent dish.
Pork Cutlets in Mushroom Gravy is highly versatile and can be served with a variety of sides. Pair it with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables to soak up the rich gravy. You can also serve it with a side of sautéed greens or a crisp salad for a refreshing contrast to the creamy sauce.
This dish is a great way to elevate simple pork cutlets into a flavorful, hearty meal. Whether you’re preparing it for a cozy dinner or serving it to guests, Pork Cutlets in Mushroom Gravy is a dish that will be enjoyed by everyone at the table.

This recipe is amazing! I used fresh mushrooms instead of the soup, and my family loved it!
I replace the mushroom soup with chicken soup and it was fire! 10/10 recommend!
Wow, chicken soup sounds like a creative twist! I’ll have to try that next time.
WOW, this dish is so good. I didn’t think I’d like it but I was wrong! Soggy breading?
Soggy breading? I think it’s just the gravy that makes it soft! But it tastes amazing, right? 😋
Sally Ann, you’ve changed my life! This dish is so good and easy to make!
Not a fan. It was way too salty for my taste. I guess I’ll stick with my usual recipe.
My husband declared this the best dinner ever! I am now the queen of pork cutlets.
I don’t wanna use that canned stuff, what about fresh mushrooms? 🤔
Deff gonna try this! Hope it turns out like in the plate! 😂
This is the same as that recipe my mom made back in 86! Love it!
I don’t know about all this mushroom soup. I mean, real chefs use fresh ingredients, right? Not from a can!
I can’t cook to save my life but this was simple enough. What is a cutlet anyway?
Why does everyone love this? It’s like, just flour and eggs? Boring! 😒
This was so easy to make! My family absolutely loved it. I’m definitely keeping this recipe!
Mushrooms not for me, greasy mess. 1 star.
Yummy cutlets! I used chicken instead by mistake, lol. Still good!
Really? Just soup on top? I don’t know if that’ll work…
This was a real hit with my family! Super tasty and easy to make. Thanks, Sally!
OMG, my kids love this! I doubled the mushroom soup and added some garlic. Yum!
I can’t eat pork. Can I substitute chicken instead?
Sure, chicken would work fine! Just make sure to adjust the cooking time since chicken needs to be fully cooked. Enjoy!
Just okay. The cutlets came out kinda dry. Maybe I cooked them too long?
Maybe try cooking them for less time next time? I’ve had the same issue before!
I don’t know, but I thought they were supposed to be moist? Sounds weird!
It tasted ok, but my cutlets were kinda dry. Maybe I cooked them too long? 🤷♂️
I found it a bit bland, might add some garlic next time.
Bland? Really? I thought the gravy was flavorful enough.
Garlic sounds like a great idea! I usually add it to everything.
we had this for dinner last night and everyone cleaned their plates!! 🙂
I don’t know, it was just kinda bland. I expected more flavor from the mushroom soup and cutlets. Maybe add some garlic next time?
Yummy! The gravy had this really nice texture. I used fresh mushrooms instead and it made it even better!
I tried it and it didn’t look like the pic. I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone help me?
Can I use chicken instead of pork? I don’t eat pork. Just wondering, might try this!
Lol, the browning is too much work. I just threw everything in together. 🙂
Too much work for me. I need simpler recipes, like just fryin it!
This was amazing! The mushroom gravy added such great flavor! Will definitely make it again!
Took a while to cook, but worth it! Very comforting meal for winter.
I agree! It’s super cozy for these cold nights. Plus, who doesn’t love mushroom gravy?
Tried this for dinner last night! My family loved it. Super easy and delish! 😍
Glad to hear it was a hit! I’ve been looking for quick dinner ideas, I’ll definitely give this a try! 😋
Looks easy but does it really taste that good? I’ve got my doubts about mushroom soup being the star ingredient.
