Breaded Pork Chops with Creamy Mushroom Gravy

This is an easy recipe to prepare for dinner or supper. It does take some time to make, but it is worth it in the end.  The pork chops are tender and flavorful. If you are short on time, you can use condensed cream of mushroom soup in a can, but it is so much better if you can make your own cream of mushroom soup.
