Pork Chop Supreme Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken soup)
- 1/2 cup milk (or chicken broth)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Pork Chops:
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
Sear the Pork Chops:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are browned. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
-
Sauté the Onions:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are softened and translucent.
-
Make the Sauce:
- In a bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, milk (or chicken broth), garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until well combined.
-
Combine and Cook:
- Return the pork chops to the skillet with the sautéed onions. Pour the soup mixture over the pork chops, making sure they are well coated.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
-
Add Cheese (if using):
- If you’re using cheese, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the pork chops during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Cover the skillet again to allow the cheese to melt.
-
Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve the pork chops with the creamy sauce over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
Tips:
- Variations: You can add vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach to the sauce for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Cooking Method: This dish can also be made in the oven. After searing the pork chops and sautéing the onions, transfer everything to a baking dish, pour the sauce over, cover with foil, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 30-35 minutes.
- Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Enjoy your Pork Chop Supreme! It’s a comforting and satisfying meal that’s perfect for family dinners.
