Smothered Pork Chops

I saw this recipe on Pinterest and had to try it out.  My kids really like pork chops and I thought this sounded really easy to make.  It was so easy and my kids loved it.  I did add some extra noodles to the pot because we like noodles and I didn't really need to.  The sauce was nice compliment to the chops and noodles.  Hope you enjoy!

Smothered Pork chops
pork loin chops, 1/2 inch thick (4 oz each)                         

2 tsp vegetable oil                        
1/2 cup chopped onion                        
1 package (8 oz) sliced mushrooms (3 cups)                        
1 3/4 cups milk                         
1 box Hamburger Helper® stroganoff                        
                            
Reduce heat to medium. In same skillet, heat oil until hot. Add onion and mushrooms; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in milk and seasoning mix (from Hamburger Helper box). Heat to boiling. Return pork chops to skillet; spoon some of the sauce over pork. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 9 to 11 minutes, stirring and turning pork chops occasionally, until pork is no longer pink in center.
 
Meanwhile, in a saucepan two-thirds full of boiling water, add uncooked pasta (from Hamburger Helper box). Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender. Drain; cover to keep warm.
 
Serve pork chops and sauce mixture over pasta.
