Pork Chop Supreme

Pork Chop Supreme is a comforting baked casserole featuring juicy pork chops, tender potatoes, onions, and a rich, creamy mushroom sauce topped with melted cheese.

Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

• 4–6 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 medium Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 (10.5 oz / 300 g) can cream of mushroom soup
• ½ cup (120 ml) milk
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven
   • Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
   • Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.
2. Season and brown the pork
   • Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Brown the pork chops for 2–3 minutes per side (they do not need to be fully cooked).
   • Transfer to a plate.
3. Layer the casserole
   • Arrange the sliced potatoes in an even layer in the baking dish.
   • Top with the sliced onions.
   • Place the browned pork chops over the potatoes.
4. Make the sauce
   • In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and Worcestershire sauce.
   • Pour the sauce evenly over the pork chops and potatoes.
5. Bake
   • Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
   • Bake for 60 minutes.
6. Add the cheese
   • Remove the foil and sprinkle the cheddar and Parmesan cheese over the top.
   • Bake uncovered for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
7. Rest and serve
   • Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley.

Optional Add-Ins

• Sliced mushrooms
• Green beans
• Bell peppers
• Bacon bits
• Fresh thyme or rosemary

Tips

• Thinly slice the potatoes so they cook evenly.
• Browning the pork chops first adds extra flavor.
• For a richer sauce, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
