Easy Pork Chop Casserole
Pork chop casserole is an easy, dump-and-bake recipe that’s perfect for busy weeknights! Made with 5 main ingredients in about an hour and a half.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 boneless pork chops
- (2) 10.5 ounce cans cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 1 1/2 cup long grained rice uncooked
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- salt and pepper to taste
- Parsley optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray.
- In the baking dish, combine the cream of mushroom soup, the chicken broth, rice, and a packet of onion soup.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Then lay them on top of the rice mixture.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 and ½ hours.
Notes
- You can use any type of condensed soup that you like. It could be cream of chicken or celery, or a combination of them if you did not have/want the mushroom soup.
- Thicker chops will stay juicier after being baked, always try to use ones at least 1-1.5 inches thick. The rice also needs to have enough time to cook without drying out the pork chops, so larger ones really are best.
- It’s important to use chicken broth instead of water. It adds so much flavor!
- Covering the casserole with foil helps trap steam — don’t skip it! This ensures the rice cooks evenly and the chops stay juicy.
- If the rice isn’t fully cooked after 1.5 hours, add a splash of warm broth, re-cover, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Let the oven baked chops rest for about 5-10 minutes after baking. The extra time lets the flavors meld and makes serving a lot easier.
- Store leftovers by letting the casserole cool to room temperature and then transferring it to an airtight container before refrigerating for up to 3-4 days. To freeze, add to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat single servings in the microwave, and larger portions in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 5-10 minutes.
