Baked pork chops with cream of mushroom soup is a quick and easy dinner recipe that’s simply delicious! This is definitely a favourite of mine for whipping up a tasty weeknight meal.
A Family Favorite!
It has been rainy and cold this summer here in Edmonton, so I am making more comfort food in the oven than usual! This is a recipe that’s almost as old as time and most households will have their own special variation, but of course, I like mine the best! Baked pork chops with cream of mushroom soup is definitely on my list of comfort foods and it’s really not difficult to make. This recipe ticks all the boxes whether you want a sit-down family meal or a simple dinner for one. Try making these with my salty, crispy baked potatoes for an easy meal!
How Long Should you Bake Pork Chops?
This recipe should be baked at 350 degrees (in a preheated oven at the same temp) for 45 minutes. So it does take a little while to make, but you don’t need to hover over it once it’s baking so it’s very easy to cook!
Baked Pork Chops Ingredients
- pork chops
- salt and pepper
- salted butter
- white onion
- minced garlic
- milk
- condensed cream of mushroom soup
How to Make Baked Pork Chops with Cream of Mushroom Soup Perfectly
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and use salt and pepper to season each side of the pork chops.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and then add the butter and onions.
- Make sure that you fry the onions until they’re tender, add in the garlic, and keep frying for another minute.
- Once the onions are sorted, leave them aside and start to saute the pork chops in the butter. You just need to do this for 3-4 minutes each side until they’re nicely browned.
- Combine the milk and soup until you have a smooth mixture, and pour it over the pork chops.
- Bake at 350 degrees around 25 minutes or until the pork reaches a minimum of 145 °F in the middle.
What to Serve with Baked Pork Chops with Cream of Mushroom Soup
I think this dish oozes comfort when it’s served with a simple combo of potatoes and vegetables. I like to cook up some of my Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes and Instant Pot Corn on the Cob, which takes no time at all but tastes SO GOOD when it’s all put together.
How to Defrost Pork Chops
The most efficient methods of defrosting your pork chops are with cold water or by microwaving them., but the very SAFEST way is defrosting them in the refrigerator. However, that takes overnight and planning, something we don’t always have! Try these two methods when you are pressed for time.
Cold Water Defrosting
- To defrost pork chops using cold water, remove them from the freezer and place them in a tightly sealed container or plastic bag (make sure it’s leak-proof).
- Place the (sealed) pork chops in a large bowl of cold water until they’re completely submerged.
- For weights up to 1lb, you’ll need to soak them for an hour, changing the water every 30 minutes. But you’ll definitely need another hour or two for 3 – 4 lbs of pork chops.
Microwave Defrosting
- Microwaving your pork chops is easy. Just unwrap them, place them in the microwave, and defrost the pork chops using the “defrost” or “thaw” button for 30 seconds.
- Turn them over and thaw them for 30 seconds on the other side. Continue with this process until the pork chops have completely thawed.

Very delicious. I went a little too heavy on the salt, but it was still very yummy. I went ahead and added about a quarter cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top Of each chop as well.
Susan Dubose says
This turned out great! I didn’t add as much garlic because sometimes it’s a little overpowering, but the flavors balanced well. My only complaint was the liquid sauce leftover in the baking dish was too watery for me, I did throw it on my potatoes but it was much too runny. When I make it again I think i’ll throw in some rice to absorb the extra liquid OR reduce the liquid mixture in a pan, adding some flour and olive oil to thicken it. But it was so tasty, I’m going to make it again!
Richard Tunner says
I made this last night for husband and I. We both loved it! The cream of mushroom soup with the other ingredients made a perfect gravy. We will definitely make it again!
I used to make it with just the pork chops, soup and 1/2 can of milk and this was much better! Thank you!
