We’re still busy exploring all of the delicious ways to use our Instant Pot, and there remains no shortage of ways to work magic with this amazing kitchen tool. Our sour cream pork chops are yet another way to enjoy our Instant Pot. This dinner is simple and flavorful and the Instant Pot does all of the work, almost instantly! A dry pork chop is our biggest concern any time we prepare pork chops, and so, to keep the meat tender and juicy, we’ve created a savory sauce that is an absolute delight, and absolutely essential when using this method to cook pork.
