Gravy-Baked Pork Chops

By

Ingredients

  • 4 lean pork chops (1/2-3/4 inch thickness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • pinch of garlic powder
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk (1 small can)
  • 1/3 cup water

Preparation

Step 1

For easy preparation, choose a skillet with an oven proof handle (like a cast iron pan).

Sprinkle pork chops with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

On the stove top over medium high heat, brown the pork chops and onion in a skillet with butter. Add garlic after first side is browned (do not allow the garlic to become dark).

Turn to brown both sides of the pork chops. Pour off any excess butter after pork chops are browned. The pork chops don't need to be cooked through because they will be finished in the oven.

Combine soup, evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk!) and water. Pour mixture around pork chops.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 45 minutes, stirring now and then.
....................
Note: Instead of baking the pork chops in the oven, if you have a tightly fitting heavy cover for the skillet, they can be finished on the stove top for 45 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.

Variations: Sliced mushrooms may be added to the gravy. Cream of Celery soup may be substituted for the Cream of Mushroom. Makes 4 servings.

Great recipe! Also, try Golden Mushroom Soup and add green pepper strips and a little curry spice and serve over buttered noodles.

Great recipe! I served it with veggie kabobs and it was wonderful!

Really easy and tastes excellent!

My husband absolutely loved this. I used an entire Vidalia onion and it was incredible! Goes well over long grain rice!

I made this recipe and i used cream of mushrooms with roasted garlic and it was wonderful.My boyfriend loved it i serve it with a big salad.It was fast and easy but very good!I serve it with a green salad and wheat rolls.Thanks for sharing your recipes i enjoy trying them.Keep the recipes coming.THANKS AGAIN CHARLOTTE

Really good. Ran out of onions so I just used onion powder, worked out fine. I served it with fried potatoes and it was yummy.

This was so easy to follow! A great meal with rice and mixed veggies! We also had black eyed peas. Happy new year!

Made this for my family last night and they loved it. I use to make the fattening smothered fried pork chops in gravy but this was a great alternative. My husband and kids ate every bit of it!

STELLAR! Absolutely perfect. Wow. Rarely do I run across a recipe that I don't change at least 1 thing but this recipe is the bomb and I will leave it as it stands! :D

I made this for my family and they loved it, this one is definitely going in the recipe book. Thank you :D

I made this recipe many times and found out that if you use 1/2-inch cutlets you don't even have to precook them, just add 15 minuted to the baking time, turning the cutlets over after 30 minutes and they turn out fine...1 less step. The gravy it makes is divine.

I do pork chops in a similar way...I just trim my chops, put them in a roaster and cover with water, and roast them in the oven for an hour or so to cook the fat away. Then I drain the water/grease, and put enough of the mushroom soup to cover the bottom of the roaster, then add chops, then use enough soup to cover everything. You can dilute the soup with water, milk or cream. It always turns out fine. Then bake it for another hour or so...tender as can be. Use any seasonings you want. I generally use a bit of chili powder, garlic powder, maybe Montreal Chicken or Steak seasoning. Seasoned salt and lots of pepper. Perfect with mashed or baked potatoes. The more soup/gravy the better....there never seems to be enough for everyone. This works well with either cream of mushroom or golden mushroom. I imagine cream of chicken or celery would be great, too.

Excellent. Thank you.

I made this tonight for dinner. My family loved it. I doubled the recipe to serve four.. I used 1 can of cream of mushroom and 1 can of cream of onion. Served mashed potatoes and carrots...bread. Very good!

The family loved this!! Tonight I'm gonna try it with boneless chicken breast and cream of chicken soup!

This was easy to make and very delicious!

Excellent dinner tonight. I prepared a bit different due to not having everything in recipe. I fried some onion in butter and olive oil before putting the seasoned pork chops in pan. I also used 1 can cream of mushroom soup and two thirds can of milk. Cooked on top of stove, covered for about an hour. was delicious. I used pork seasoning rub on the chops. Served with mashed potatoes and peas. Was absolutely delicious.

I served the chops with fried potatoes mixed with red and orange pepper strips and onions. I sauted the peppers and onions separately and then turned them through the potatoes. The combination got raves.

Quick and easy! My mouth was watering before I added the sauce! I used garlic powder instead of real garlic but I used garlic cream of mushroom soup. This was very yummy!! Served over rice.

I love this recipe and have made it several times. The gravy turns out delicious and tastes good with mashed potatoes or rice. I cook it once a month and have even made it with chicken. I have used both oven and stove methods but like being able to stir while on stove top.

Very good. The whole family loved it!

Just made these chops and OMG they are DELISH!! The only thing I changed is I used seasoned salt instead of reg salt...my kids and husband who dont usually like pork chops raved...this is def a keeper!!! Thanks!

Wow for such a simple recipe it tastes sensational and fills you up quick... Five stars. Simply delicious!

Loved this recipe. Family loved it last time I made it! Easy to make and fast (Wife and I work different shifts/hours so we switch cooking and this is a great meal to make). I'm going to try cream of celery this time because the daughter doesn't like mushrooms.

I added raw cubed potatoes after frying the chops. Delicious
