Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make Pork Chop Supreme:

Main Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (¾ to 1 inch thick)
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or olive oil)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)

Kitchen Tools Needed

• Oven-safe baking dish (9×13 inch preferred)
• Skillet or frying pan
• Mixing bowl
• Knife and cutting board
• Foil (optional for covering during baking)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish or spray with nonstick spray.

Step 2: Brown the Pork Chops

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sear the chops for about 2–3 minutes per side, just until they get a golden crust. Don’t cook them all the way through—they’ll finish cooking in the oven.

Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 3: Layer Potatoes and Onions

Arrange the sliced potatoes evenly in the bottom of your baking dish. Top with the thinly sliced onions. Lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 4: Mix the Sauce

In a mixing bowl, whisk together:

• Cream of mushroom soup
• Milk
• Sour cream
• Worcestershire sauce

Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 5: Assemble the Casserole

Pour half of the sauce mixture over the potatoes and onions. Place the browned pork chops on top. Pour the remaining sauce over the pork chops, spreading it evenly.

Step 6: Bake

Cover the baking dish with foil (to prevent drying) and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

After 35 minutes, remove the foil. If using, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked (internal temp of 145°F/63°C) and the potatoes are tender.

Step 7: Rest and Serve

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven. This allows the sauce to thicken and the flavors to settle.

Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions, if desired.

Tips and Variations

• Boneless or Bone-In? Either works, but bone-in chops tend to be juicier and more flavorful.
• Add Veggies: Toss in frozen green beans, peas, or spinach to add color and nutrients.
• Swap the Soup: Not a fan of mushroom? Cream of chicken or celery works great too.
• Make it Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
• Low-Carb Option: Use cauliflower slices instead of potatoes for a keto-friendly version.

Storage and Reheating

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheat: Microwave individual servings or reheat the entire dish, covered with foil, in a 325°F oven until warmed through.

Freeze: You can freeze this dish after baking. Let it cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
