Pork Chop Supreme (Creamy Oven-Baked Classic)

Introduction

Pork Chop Supreme is a timeless comfort-food casserole that combines tender pork chops, thinly sliced potatoes, and a creamy onion-mushroom sauce. Everything bakes together in one dish, allowing the flavors to melt into each other while the potatoes become soft and flavorful. It’s simple, budget-friendly, and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon oil or butter (for greasing the dish)
  • Optional: paprika, garlic powder, or dried parsley for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with oil or butter.
  2. Wash, peel (optional), and thinly slice the potatoes. Spread them evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
  3. Arrange the boneless pork chops directly on top of the potato layer. Season both sides of the pork chops with black pepper and optional paprika or garlic powder.
  4. In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup with the milk until smooth. Stir in the Lipton onion soup mix until well combined.
  5. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops and potatoes, making sure everything is well coated.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45–50 minutes, allowing the potatoes to soften and the pork chops to cook through.
  7. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15–20 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the sauce is bubbling.
  8. Let the dish rest for 5–10 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens slightly.

Tips for Best Results

  • Slice potatoes very thin so they cook evenly.
  • For extra tenderness, lightly brown the pork chops in a skillet before layering.
  • If the sauce looks too thick, add a splash of milk before baking.
  • Serve with green beans, peas, or a simple salad for balance.

Variations

  • Add sliced onions or mushrooms between the potato layers.
  • Use cream of chicken soup instead of mushroom.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese on top during the last 10 minutes for a cheesy version.
