Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 pork chops
Liquid Base:
- 1 cup cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup water
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Fire up the oven to a steady 350°F (175°C), creating the perfect warm environment for your comfort meal.
- Sprinkle each pork chop generously with ¼ teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, massaging the seasonings into the meat.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the seasoned pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust develops.
- Transfer the browned chops into a 9×13 inch baking dish, arranging them without overcrowding.
- Whisk together 1 cup cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup water in a mixing bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Cascade the creamy liquid evenly over the pork chops, ensuring each piece gets coated.
- Scatter 1 whole thinly sliced onion across the top of the dish, distributing the rings randomly.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, checking that the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F.
- Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Notes
- Choose thick-cut pork chops for the juiciest result and most tender meat.
- Let the pork chops rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before seasoning to ensure even cooking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap cream of mushroom soup for a homemade sauce using cornstarch and dairy-free milk.
- Enhance flavor by adding fresh thyme or rosemary to the soup mixture for extra depth and aroma.
