My teenage son actually ate 3 of this pork chops! I still can’t get over how much a skinny teenage boy can eat, but he had missed lunch that day and was apparently starving, lol.
My hubby was very sad that there was only one chop left by the time he came home from work, but honestly, my son thought he was being generous not eating the last one, lol.
It is easy to make amazing smothered pork chops in the Instant Pot®! Searing meat, making the sauce and pressure cooking the whole meal in one muti-functioning appliance, means fewer dishes to wash, yay!

This looks soooo good! Just started keto and came across this recipe. Anyway I could make this in the crockpot or in oven?
You could make this on the stovetop & oven.
You are dangerous with this recipe and pictures. I have not had pork in almost 10 years and these pictures are making me want to eat it 🙂 however, my husband loves porkchop so I have a way to get my urge out by making this recipe for him. Great dinner idea for tonight!!!
I’m sorry, Mirlene, I was not trying to tempt you. Are you Kosher or vegetarian?
These pork chops are just loaded with all the most delicious things, and I love that they’re made in the Instant Pot as well!
Thank you so much, Kari 🙂
Ooooh, delicious… you had me at bacon! I like the thyme and other seasonings in it too. Very flavorful.
Thank you, Catherine 🙂
I love all of the ingredients and flavor in this recipe. I have a new instapot, and I’m adding this recipe to my list of ones to try.
Thank you, Anne 🙂
Teenage boys are ravenous savages. I could totally see my teens plowing through these pork chops. Especially since bacon is involved. 😉
Anya, you are so right, lol!
I’ve never made pork chops! But it looks pretty darn easy in the instant pot . . . and those mushrooms, yum!
Thank you, Jennifer 🙂

Thank you so much, Rebecca, for trying the recipe and your kind words 🙂
If doubling the recipe do I need to adjust the cook time in the instant pot?
Hi Chrissy, doubling a recipe doesn’t require changing the cooking time. The cooking times are more dependent on the density and thickness of the ingredients (pork chops) rather than the weight.
Bacon… mushrooms… how could you not love this? It looks delicious, and I love that it’s made in the Instant Pot!
Thank you so much, Raia 🙂
