Pork Chop Supreme

By Muhammad Faizan

Description

Pork Chop Supreme is a classic comfort-food casserole featuring tender pork chops baked in a creamy sauce with onions, mushrooms, and seasonings. The dish is simple enough for weeknights but flavorful enough for gatherings. Everything bakes in one pan, creating rich, savory drippings perfect for spooning over rice, potatoes, or noodles.

 Ingredients For Pork Chop Supreme

For the Pork Chops

  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

For the Sauce

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional but recommended)

To Serve

  • Cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles

  • Chopped parsley (optional)

 Instructions

1. Prepare the Pork Chops

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Pat pork chops dry.

  3. Mix salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season chops evenly.

  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  5. Sear pork chops for 2–3 minutes per side until browned (they do not need to be cooked through).

2. Make the Sauce

  1. In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce.

  2. Stir in sliced onions and mushrooms.

3. Assemble the Dish

  1. Place the seared pork chops into a baking dish.

  2. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the top.

4. Bake

  1. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes.

  2. Remove foil and bake an additional 10–20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and pork reaches 145°F (63°C) internally.

5. Serve

  1. Let rest for 5 minutes.

  2. Serve over rice, potatoes, or noodles with extra sauce spooned on top.

 Notes

  • Bone-in chops stay juicier but boneless work well too.

  • Searing adds flavor but the dish can be made without searing if you need a faster prep.

  • The sauce thickens as it bakes — thin with extra broth if needed.

 Tips for Best Results

  • Don’t overcook: Pork can dry out if baked too long. Check temp at 45 minutes.

  • Add vegetables: Carrots, green beans, or peas can be layered under the chops.

  • Make it richer: Add ¼ cup Parmesan or a splash of heavy cream.

  • More flavor: Add ½ teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary to the sauce.

  • One-pan stovetop version: Simmer covered for 30–40 minutes instead of baking.

 Q&A

Q1: Can I use chicken instead of pork chops?

Yes! Boneless or bone-in chicken thighs or breasts work well. Adjust cooking time so chicken reaches 165°F.

Q2: Can I make this ahead?

Yes. Assemble the dish up to 24 hours in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Add 5–10 minutes to the bake time.

Q3: Can I freeze it?

Absolutely. Freeze before baking for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before baking.

Q4: What’s the best side dish?

Mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, rice pilaf, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.

Q5: Can I make it healthier?

Use low-fat sour cream, low-sodium soup, and skip the searing step to reduce oil.

Q6: Sauce too thick?

Stir in an extra ¼–½ cup chicken broth before baking.
