Classic Pork Chop Casserole for Dinner
This classic pork chop casserole is a go-to for a filling meal. It’s simple to prepare and packed with comforting flavors everyone will enjoy.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Thick-Cut Chops: Use bone-in chops for more flavor and moisture. They hold up better during baking.
- Creamy Sauce Base: A mix of cream of mushroom soup and milk makes the casserole rich and smooth.
What You Need
- 4-6 bone-in pork chops
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- Salt and pepper to taste
⏱️ Time: 1 hour 15 minutes🍽️ Yields: 4 servings
How to Make It
Step 1: Prepare Your Chops
Pat your pork chops dry with paper towels. Season them well on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brown them in a hot skillet for a few minutes per side; this helps seal in juices.
Step 2: Assemble the Casserole
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Stir in the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Arrange the browned pork chops in a baking dish. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chops.
Step 3: Bake Until Done
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes if you want a slightly browned top.
📝 Final Note
This casserole pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or a side of steamed green beans. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Hearty Pork Chops And Potatoes Casserole
If you love potatoes with your pork, this recipe is for you. It’s a complete meal in one dish, making dinner easy and delicious.

Step 2: Layer the Casserole
In a large baking dish, arrange a layer of sliced potatoes, then a layer of sliced onions. Place the seasoned pork chops on top. Pour the broth and cream mixture over everything, ensuring the potatoes are mostly covered.
Step 3: Bake and Finish
