🥘Ingredients

For the Pork Chops

4 bone in or boneless pork chops, about 3/4 inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Sauce

1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk or water
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3Heat olive oil in a large oven safe skillet over medium high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them to a plate.
4In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, and dried thyme. If using fresh mushrooms, stir them into the sauce.

📝Notes

For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra depth of flavor. If your skillet is not oven safe, transfer the sauce and pork chops to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Creamy Pork Chops and Mushroom Soup Bake

1. Can I use boneless pork chops for this recipe?

Yes, boneless pork chops work great. Just keep an eye on the cooking time as they may cook a bit faster than bone in chops. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Can I make this recipe without sour cream?

You can substitute the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt or an additional 1/4 cup of milk. The sauce will be a little less rich but still creamy and delicious.

3. How do I prevent the pork chops from drying out?

Do not overcook them. Searing them quickly on the stovetop locks in moisture, and baking them in the creamy sauce helps keep them tender. Let them rest for a few minutes after baking before serving.

4. Can I add other vegetables to this dish?

Absolutely. Sliced onions, bell peppers, or even some spinach stirred into the sauce before baking are all great additions. You can also add a handful of frozen peas during the last 10 minutes of baking.

5. What should I serve with these creamy pork chops?

This dish is wonderful over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or steamed rice to soak up all the sauce. A simple side of green beans or a crisp salad rounds out the meal perfectly.
