Best Baked Pork Chops image

After searching for a good, easy, one-dish baked pork chop recipe I came up with my own -- and it's the best. These were literally fork tender. I served it with a side of mixed vegetables. I know a lot of people will balk at using the bacon grease for frying the chops, but it does add a smoky flavor that enhances the chipotle pepper.

Time 1h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

non-stick cooking spray
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup with roasted garlic
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
4 green onions, chopped
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 ½ tablespoons garlic powder, or to taste
1 tablespoon ground chipotle pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
4 pork chops
2 tablespoons bacon grease

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Mix cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, mushrooms, green onions, rice, and Worcestershire in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine garlic powder, chipotle pepper, and salt in a small bowl, adjusting seasoning mix to taste.
  • Rinse pork chops and pat dry. Season both sides of chops with seasoning mix.
  • Heat bacon grease over medium heat in a large, heavy frying pan. Fry chops 2 at a time until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place browned chops in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour soup and rice mixture over the pork chops, covering well. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pork is no longer pink in the center and topping is golden brown, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
