Easy Pork Chop Casserole for Dinner
This classic pork chop casserole is a go-to for many home cooks. It uses pantry staples to create a warm, satisfying meal that’s perfect on a chilly evening.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Pork Chops: Use bone-in or boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick. Thinner chops will cook faster.
- Creamy Soup: Cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup works well for the creamy sauce. You can use a low-sodium version if you prefer.
What You Need
- 4-6 pork chops (boneless or bone-in)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for browning)
⏱️ Time: Prep: 15 min, Cook: 45 min🍽️ Yields: 4 servings
How to Make It
Step 1: Prepare Pork Chops
Season your pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side. This step adds a nice color and helps seal in juices.
Step 2: Assemble the Casserole
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. Place the browned pork chops in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chops and sprinkle with the chopped yellow onion.
Step 3: Bake Until Done
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Serve warm with your favorite sides.
📝 Final Note
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dash of garlic powder or a sprinkle of dried thyme to your soup mixture before pouring it over the chops.
Hearty Pork Chops And Potatoes Casserole
This recipe brings your main course and side dish together in one pan. Tender pork chops bake alongside soft potatoes, making a complete and satisfying meal with easy cleanup.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Potato Choice: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work best here. They become wonderfully creamy when baked. Make sure to slice them thinly for even cooking.
- Layering Technique: Start with the potatoes on the bottom of the dish to ensure they cook through nicely, absorbing the liquid and seasonings from above.
What You Need
- 4-6 pork chops (boneless or bone-in)
- 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
⏱️ Time: Prep: 20 min, Cook: 60 min🍽️ Yields: 4-6 servings
How to Make It
Step 1: Prepare Potatoes and Onion
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange the thinly sliced potatoes and onions evenly in the bottom of the dish. Season them with salt, pepper, and about half of the paprika.
Step 2: Season Pork Chops and Layer
Season the pork chops generously with the remaining paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the seasoned pork chops over the potato and onion layer in the baking dish. Make sure they are arranged in a single layer.
Step 3: Add Liquid and Bake
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the pork chops and potatoes. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature 145°F / 63°C). If using, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking.
📝 Final Note
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the pork chops even more tender.
