My husband, Bob, and I grew up on farms. This recipe reminds me of home.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
  • 1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, undrained
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 6 bone-in pork loin chops (1/2 inch thick and 8 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • DUMPLINGS:
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 3 tablespoons shortening
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the soup, mushrooms, water and sage; set aside. In a large skillet, brown the pork chops on both sides in oil; top with onion. Pour soup mixture over top. Bring to a boil; reduce heat.
  2. For dumplings, in a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, celery seed and sage. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened.
  3. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto simmering soup mixture; sprinkle with parsley. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Cover and simmer 15 minutes longer or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering).
