Mamas casserole pork chops

“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:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
3. 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.
4. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
5. 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.
6. Spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a baking dish.
7. Arrange the browned pork chops in the baking dish over the sauce.
8. Pour the remaining sauce over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated.
9. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the pork chops.
10. 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.
11. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
12. 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.
13. Serve the Mama’s Casserole Pork Chops hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a green salad.
