Ingredients & Variations
Pork Chops – Whether you use boneless or bone-in, look for fresh, thick cut chops from the loin or shoulder that are pale pink in color. For best flavor, use ones that are slightly marbled or retain a layer of fat on the edge, which will keep your chops juicy and flavorful.
Sauce – Canned cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth from a carton are real time savers, and make the sauce creamy, savory, and flavorful. For a richer sauce, substitute light or even heavy cream for some of the milk. For more intense flavor you could make your own mushroom or pepper gravy. Or go “whole hog” and bake your chops in homemade pork sausage gravy! Add a little bite with this beef seasoning made with cayenne pepper. Or, inject some herbal notes with an Italian or Greek blend.
Variations – Give your dish color and extra nutrition by stirring in some frozen vegetables to the sauce toward the end. Peas and carrots or a vegetable medley will add a layer of sweetness and interest. For a tasty topping, remove the foil some sprinkle some Parmesan cheese or buttered breadcrumbs on top and pop them under the broiler for 1 minute to brown. You can also make this dish by substituting chicken cutlets for the pork!

Serving Suggestions
This gravy-rich dish practically begs for a starch to soak up all that savory sauce! Serve over fluffy rice, garlic mashed potatoes, or cheesy biscuits.

You should see the nutritional information there now Ginny!
My mother used to make this when I was young. I remember her using flour, beaten egg, and crushed saltine crackers to coat them, then browning them in our cast iron skillet, then mixing up some cream of mushroom soup with milk and seasonings, pouring it over the chops in the skillet, then putting the whole thing in the oven with a lid on it. LOVED THEM! Fork tender. We had rice and peas with them. This was during WWII.
Thank you for sharing your memories Sandy ๐
Step 3, how many bowls are in this? ย Is it all one step, are there three different bowls to dredge? ย One, two? ย Can you break this up and make it clear exactly what we need to do please.
There are three bowls. First dip in the flour mixture, next the eggs, and third the breadcrumbs. Hope that helps, Scott!
It says to cover the porkchops after the soup has been added, then later it says to cover the pan after the pork chops have been browned. I’m confused.
You cover during the entire baking process (both before and after adding the soup).
The cook time at the top is 25 minutes.
the instructions say bake 35 minutes, then add soup mixture and bake additional 25-30 minutes. This is over an hour of baking? Won\t they be overcooked? Can you clairfy the total cooking time.
I am thinking that an hour of baking may overcook the pork.
The total baking time is one hour.
Yes.
Can you please update the cook time at the top. Step 7 says it will need to cook over an hour in total. “After 35 min top with soup mixture and bake an additional 25-30 minutes or until fork tender.”
I’ve updated – thank you Cobie!
