Description

This comforting Pork Chop Casserole transforms humble pantry staples into a hearty, family-friendly meal. Tender pork chops are seared for flavor and then bathed in a luscious sauce made from condensed cream of celery soup, fresh onions, and aromatic herbs. The dish offers a perfect balance of savory depth from the Worcestershire sauce and the creamy texture of the soup base. It is an ideal solution for busy weeknights, offering a warm, satisfying dinner that feels homemade without requiring complex techniques. Serve it hot with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce, or alongside simple mashed potatoes or noodles for a complete, classic comfort food experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Brush the pork chops generously with Worcestershire sauce.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium-high heat.
  3. Brown the pork chops in the skillet on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the condensed cream of celery soup, finely chopped onion, salt, pepper, and dried parsley flakes.
  5. Pour half of the celery soup mixture into the bottom of a 3-quart microwave-safe or heat-resistant baking dish.
  6. Place the browned pork chops on top of the sauce in the dish.
  7. Pour the remaining celery soup mixture evenly over the pork chops.
  8. Cook uncovered in the microwave on high for 20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and reaches a safe internal temperature.
  9. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to settle.

Note

Ensure pork chops are cut thick enough to hold up to cooking, but thin enough to cook through in 20 minutes in the microwave. Uniform thickness helps ensure even cooking.

Pork should always be cooked to well-done for safety. Use a meat thermometer to verify the internal temperature reaches at least 145&# 194;°F (63ðC) followed by a rest period, or until juices run clear.

Serve with noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice to complement the creamy sauce.

If using an oven instead of a microwave, bake at 350ðF (175ðC) for 25-30 minutes, or until pork is cooked through.

You can substitute cream of chicken or mushroom soup for the celery soup if preferred.
