Pork Chops in the Pressure Cooker

By PineyCook

This pressure cooker recipe is written for thick bone-in pork chops. If you’re using boneless or thin pork chops, reduce your cook time to 6 to 8 minutes. Also, the longer cook time will result in very soft potatoes. If you prefer your potatoes more solid, wrap the potatoes in foil and cook them on top of the pork chops, or use small whole potatoes.

Ingredients

• 4 thick-cut, bone-in pork chops
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 7 carrots, peeled & coarsely chopped
• 7 Russet potatoes, peeled & coarsely chopped
• 1 small can mushrooms, with liquid, or 1 to 2 cups button mushrooms coarsely chopped
• 1 small can tomato sauce, or homemade tomato sauce, or tomato soup

Preparation

Step 1

Brown pork chops in a bit of olive oil in the pressure cooker. Remove excess oil,and put pork chops back in.

Add green peppers, onions, carrots, potatoes and mushrooms.

Mix tomato sauce or soup with water to equal 12 ounces.

Secure lid of pressure cooker and bring up to pressure. Cook for 10-15 minutes.
