Easy Pork Chop Recipe for a 50-Year-Old Cook Who Can't Get It Right!

I take my pork chops and dip them in seasoned flour and lightly fry them in the electric skillet. I the add a mix of cream of mushroom/sour cream garlic milk and pepper over the top. Chop some potatoes and toss them in an let it all cook slow until the meat falls off the bone and pot are soft.
 
Season porkchops coat in cornstarch shake off excess. Just a dusting should be left. Hot skillet sear on both sides 2 minutes. Add in 1 can French onion soup. Move chops around so all are nestled in the soup. You can add more slivered onion if you'd like. Simmer on low 10 minutes. Flip put 1 tablespoon of brown sugar on each chop spreading out as much as possible. Simmer 10 minutes. Flip and remove chops to serving platter. Temp them make sure they are at least 145. Time will vary depending on size and if you have bones but typically it's 20 minutes. Bring your sauce up to boil and stir and cook until thickened and pour over chops before serving. I got this from the back of the Campbell's soup can and this is by far my families favorite for over 20 years. Serve with mashed potatoes and can use any extra sauce you may have or buttered egg noodles and peas. Makes a pretty plate.
 
I sear mine first, then put in the oven added some brown gravy and sauté onions, the spices u desire. Wrap the container with foil and cook in oven for 1 hr. Other times I added the seared pork chops in the oven turkey bag...
super tender and moist! U can't go wrong
 
Soak your pork chops in warm salted water for an hour before you cook them. It keeps them moist. I do this for chicken breast too. Use a lot of salt- like a brine. You could use any marinade in the world but nothing works better than a warm salty bath
 
Honestly, buy a digital meet thermometer and you will never ruin pork again. Most people overcooked it. One like these. You set the temperature, take it out when it goes off.
 
Smother, and cover. They come out so tender and yummy. There are lots of ways and ingredients. Goggle smothered and covered pork chops. You do these mostly in the skillet. They are huge here in Mississippi and Louisiana.
 
I've made this with pork steaks and pork chops - both will melt in your mouth.
Braised Pork Steaks
2 lg pork steaks, thicker cut
2 onions halved and sliced
12 oz beer (I used Rolling Rock ale)
1 cup beef broth
3-4 tbsp. Tomato paste
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp molasses
Seasoning salt
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Paprika
Season both sides of steaks, brown in olive oil on high in an oven proof pan, set aside. Turn heat to medium, fry onions in same pan until very soft. Add tomato paste and stir in 1 minute. Add beer, then stir in brown sugar and molasses, add broth. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly, adjust seasoning as needed. Add steaks back to pan, settle into liquid. Cover and bake at 325 for 1.5 hours. Serve with mashed potatoes.
 
Cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken dump it in a casserole dish orthe crock pot and ur good to go with
 
I brown the chops and then layer in a casserole with sliced potatoes and green beans with cream of mushroom soup. Put the lid on and bake 45 min to 1 hour. Chops come out tender. I always liked doing this when I was doing chores, i.e. mowing, so I didn't have to watch it.
 
Foil pack pork or cook in a cream soup of some kind.. if I dont foil pack pork or cook it in milk/cream soup I use BBQ sauce otherwise it drys out.. something I remember from my GPA..
 
I love to make pork chops in the oven, although am sure you could make them in the crock pot, if you wish. It's so mmm mmm good! And yes, the house smells fabulous when I'm making it!
Get a roasting pan. Get some cans of cream of mushroom soup, (or you could use whatever cream soup you'd like, such as cream of cheddar, if you don't like cream of mushroom, or mix a couple kinds together). Spoon some mushroom soup on the bottom of the pan. Layer pork chops on top of the soup. Layer some more soup onto the chops. Slice up some onions and mushrooms. Layer them on as well. If you have lots of chops, continue the layering, with the chopped onions and mushrooms on top. Then, get some broth and pour that over top so everything is able to simmer nicely. Add your favorite spices. I generally use garlic powder, pepper, and seasoning salt. You could even layer in some cut up tomatoes, or sliced zucchini. Whatever you wish. Put the lid on, and shove the pan in the oven. I generally cook it for a couple hours at least, at 350 degrees. Probably closer to three. The longer you leave it, the more the flavors will go through everything, and the more tender the meat is. Take out of the oven and enjoy! 💖
You can actually make another meal out of this. I had lots of broth left over, with the extras in it, so I added some noodles and rice. Chopped up the meat from a pork chop, and added it as well. Simmer up until the noodles and rice are cooked. Voila, you now have a super yummy soup. Enjoy! 💖
