Keto Mushroom Pork Chops. Bought this gorgeous little pork chop at my meat market and let it sit in the fridge for several days before I decided what to do with it. I “future cook” which simply means when I need cooked mushrooms, I buy & cook 2½-3 lbs. at a time, fry them, portion them, and freeze them for use when needed. I do this with lots and lots of things. I had already bought some fresh thyme for another dish, I always have cooked bacon in the fridge for when I need it soooo…hence the birth of these spiffy little keto mushroom pork chops. Super easy to make and full, full, full of flavor.

- If you don't have porcini dust then ¼ C of reconstituted dried porcinis work just as well.

MM pork rib chops are my fave. And love mushrooms! Just never thought of future cooking them.
Bobbi Jo,
It just occurred to me that future cooking mushrooms, for you, would be a particularly good thing since you eat so many of them with your steaks.
