Cajun Instant Pot Sour Cream Pork Chops

January 17

This Cajun Instant Pot Sour Cream Pork Chops Recipe is so creamy and delicious.  It goes great over rice or potatoes.  We added the “Cajun Holy Trinity” to this Instant Pot recipe to give it some extra flavor.  This easy pork chop recipe does not require any marinade and you still end up with flavorful fork tender meat!

We use the 8 qt. Instant Pot to prepare all our meals.

We also use a digital cooking thermometer like this.  If you have any questions about what temperature something should be cooked at or reheated at you can check out FoodSafety.gov.  That’s what we use.

 

Also, quick side note…. the black eye peas you see pictured below are our Instant Pot Black Eye Peas we made and froze individual portions!!

What is the Cajun Holy Trinity?

In Louisiana we chop up onions, bell peppers, and celery.  We call this mixture of all three the Cajun Holy Trinity.  We use this mixture as the starting base for most of our cajun dishes in this area.  I have added this “Cajun Holy Trinity” mixture to this Instant Pot Pork Chops with Sour Cream recipe to give it a Cajun twist!

You can chop up your onions, bell peppers, and celery mixture , “Cajun Holy Trinity”, and keep them in individual packs in the freezer to add to any of your other Instant Pot meals for extra flavor.

Instructions – Cajun Instant Pot Sour Cream Pork Chops

#1.  First, place your pork chops and seasoning in your Instant Pot.  Brown both sides of pork chops. I don’t use any oil when browning my pork chops in an Instant Pot.

#2.  Next, pile your pork chops up on one side of the pot and add in your butter and “Cajun Holy Trinity”.  That is your onions, bell peppers, and celery.  Now you brown your “Cajun Holy Trinity” scraping all the brown bits off the bottom of your pot.  Cook your onion, bell peppers, and celery down until they are a clear brownish color.

#3.   Then add your beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.  Again, scrape the bottom of your Instant Pot to make sure you have scraped all the burnt pieces from the bottom of the pot.

#4.   Next, close the lid and turn the steam release valve to the “sealing” position.

#5.  Then press the “Pressure Cook” button.  Next, press the “Pressure Level” button until you have selected “High Pressure”.

#6.  Turn the timer on for 30 minutes if you have 2 lbs. of pork chops.  Once the pressure builds up, the timer will start counting down.

#7.  Once the timer has completed let it do a natural release of pressure.  Which means do not open the venting valve.  It will naturally release the pressure on its own in about 20-30 minutes.

#8.  After all of the pressure has released open your Instant Pot and pile your pork chops to one side or place then on a plate and cover to keep warm.  Turn your Instant Pot on “Saute”.  Mix your 1 tbsp of cornstarch with 1 tbsp. of water together to make a slurry.  Then stir it into your Instant Pot to thicken your gravy for about a minute or two.

 

#9.  Next turn your Instant Pot off and let your gravy cool down for a few minutes.  Then mix in your sour cream and serve!
