Ingredients
- 6 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 bag (about 32 oz) frozen hash brown potatoes or thinly sliced fresh potatoes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Brown the Pork Chops
Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear them for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden. You’re not cooking them all the way through — just sealing in the flavor and giving them a nice crust. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Sauce
In a large bowl, combine both cans of soup, sour cream, milk, and onion soup mix. Stir until smooth and creamy. This mixture will create that signature “supreme” sauce — rich, savory, and loaded with flavor.
Step 4: Layer the Potatoes
Spread the hash browns (or thinly sliced potatoes) evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Pour about half of the creamy soup mixture over them, spreading it evenly.
Step 5: Add the Pork Chops
Place the browned pork chops on top of the potatoes. Pour the remaining soup mixture over the chops, making sure each one is well covered.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20–25 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and the top is bubbly and golden.
If you’re using bone-in chops, they may take slightly longer to become tender. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Step 7: Rest and Serve
Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch before serving.
Tips & Tricks for the Best Results
🥩 Don’t Skip Browning: Searing the pork chops first adds depth of flavor and helps them stay juicy while baking.
🥔 Use Hash Browns for Ease: Frozen hash browns save prep time, but fresh thin-sliced potatoes give a more rustic texture.
🍄 Add Veggies: Stir in sliced mushrooms, onions, or peas for extra flavor and nutrition.
🥣 Creamy Perfection: If you prefer a looser sauce, add a splash more milk before baking.
🌿 Make It Fancy: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or Parmesan on top for a cheesy crust.
Variations
- Ranch Pork Chop Supreme: Mix a packet of ranch seasoning into the sauce for a tangy twist.
- Garlic & Herb Version: Add minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the sauce for a more aromatic flavor.
- Cheesy Potato Bake: Layer shredded cheddar cheese between the potatoes and sauce for extra richness.
- Chicken Substitute: This recipe also works beautifully with boneless chicken breasts. Adjust baking time slightly shorter (about 45–50 minutes total).
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne or a few dashes of hot sauce to the soup mixture for a little heat.
Serving Ideas
Serve Pork Chop Supreme with a simple green side dish to balance the richness. Steamed green beans, roasted Brussels sprouts, or a crisp garden salad make perfect companions. You can also pair it with:
- Buttered corn for a classic homestyle combo.
- Dinner rolls or garlic bread to soak up that delicious creamy sauce.
- A glass of iced tea or light Chardonnay for the perfect finish.
For presentation, serve each pork chop over a bed of creamy potatoes, spooning extra sauce on top. Add a sprinkle of paprika and parsley for color — it makes a simple dish look restaurant-worthy.
Storage & Reheating
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for 15–20 minutes or microwave individual portions for 2–3 minutes.
- Freeze: You can freeze leftovers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Pork Chop Supreme actually tastes even better the next day — the sauce thickens and the flavors deepen overnight, making it a great make-ahead dinner option.
Why This Recipe Works
What makes Pork Chop Supreme truly special is the way the flavors come together as it bakes. The soups and sour cream melt into the potatoes, forming a silky, savory base that keeps the pork tender and juicy. The onion soup mix brings a punch of flavor, while the pork juices blend into the sauce, adding a rich, meaty depth.
It’s the perfect harmony of textures and tastes — creamy, tender, and full of that “home-cooked” warmth we all crave. This recipe is more than just a meal; it’s comfort in a casserole dish — simple, satisfying, and soul-soothing.
