Pork Chops with Dijon Mustard Sauce

I love dijon mustard and my daughter loves pork chops. So this is a great combination for us both. And the fact that it is really good, is even better.

6 boneless pork chops
lemon pepper seasoning
olive oil
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 lg. can cream
1 tablespoon flour
salt to taste


In a skillet pour a little olive oil in the bottom. Place pork chops in skillet with lemon pepper seasoning on each side. Cook until done. About 15 to 20 minutes. Take out of pan and add the cream and flour, salt and mustard to pan. With a wooden spoon scrape the drippings from the bottom of skillet to combine with the cream mixture. Heat until thick and bubbly. Make some rice and limas or veggies of your choice and enjoy.
