Ingredients
- 4 pork chops
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 pork chops, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot when the pork chops are ready to be cooked.
- Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper to taste. You can also sprinkle some garlic powder on both sides for added flavor.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the pork chops to the skillet.
- Sear the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. This will help to lock in the juices and enhance the flavor.
- While the pork chops are searing, in a separate bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and remaining garlic powder until well combined.
- Once the pork chops are browned, remove them from the skillet and place them in a baking dish.
- Pour the mushroom soup mixture over the pork chops, ensuring they are well covered.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in while baking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- After baking, remove the foil and let the pork chops rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This will help keep them juicy.
- Serve the pork chops hot, spooning some of the creamy mushroom sauce over the top. Enjoy your delicious Pork Chops with Sauce!
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your pork chops reach the perfect internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). This guarantees juicy, safe-to-eat meat every time.
- Searing Matters: Take time to properly sear your pork chops. The golden-brown crust not only looks amazing but locks in those delicious juices and adds incredible flavor.
- Let It Rest: Never skip the resting period after cooking. Those 5 minutes allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is moist and delectable.
- Sauce Hack: For an extra creamy sauce, whisk the cream of mushroom soup and milk thoroughly to prevent any lumps and create a smooth, rich coating.
- Customize Your Seasoning: While the recipe calls for garlic powder, feel free to experiment with additional herbs like thyme or rosemary to make the dish uniquely yours.
