It’s been scorching hot here in Southern California and it’s really hard to believe that fall is officially here in a few days. It’s seriously been in the 90s this week and while I would love to start preparing some pumpkin items, I just can’t quite bring myself to do that when it’s so hot outside.

This week was a good week for TV. The finale of Masterchef was on and I was completely surprised at who won but I still love watching it. I just love watching the home cooks create recipes with creativity and passion. The show inspires me to create dishes and rethink plating them. Have you seen the dishes on the show? They are beautifully done.

There is just something about the mustard sauce that offers just enough tanginess to make it taste like a complicated recipe, when it truly only takes a handful of ingredients.

Substitutions & Variations

• No sour cream? Swap in Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
• Mustard options: Try whole grain mustard or spicy brown mustard for a different twist.
• Make it dairy-free: Use plant-based butter and a dairy-free sour cream alternative.
• Add mushrooms or spinach to the sauce for an easy veggie boost

Then I make a sauce in the same pan (why dirty another one).

And before you know it, you have a tasty dinner.

This is great for weeknights too! I think next time I might add some mushrooms to the sauce.

So delicious and easy to make!

 🕒Time-Saving Tips

• Pre-mix the sauce ingredients in the morning and store in the refrigerator, just pour in when ready.
• Chop the onions ahead of time and store in the refridgerator for up to 3 days.
• Use thin-cut pork chops for even quicker cooking (they’ll be done in closer to 4–5 minutes per side).
• Let pork rest for a few minutes before serving to keep juices in.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, or roasted carrots.
• A side of rice or egg noodles would also soak up that mustard sauce beautifully.

🧊 Storage & Leftovers

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat gently in a skillet or in the microwave and add a little water or broth if needed to loosen the sauce.
• Slice leftovers for a pork sandwich or toss in a salad the next day.
