“Mama’s Casserole Pork Chops” is a comforting dish that’s easy to prepare and full of flavor. Here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
- 4 pork chops, bone-in or boneless
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Arrange the browned pork chops in the baking dish over the sauce.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the pork chops.
- In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with a bit of olive oil or melted butter to moisten them slightly. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve the Mama’s Casserole Pork Chops hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a green salad.
