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 25 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 Cream of Mushroom Pork Chops 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
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.

Sarah-Lynn Shaw says
This was very gross!! I was wondering why there wasn’t any seasoning on the porkchops.
Sorry but I won’t recommend!
Karen says
Does this work with the boneless thick cut loin chops? They are usually so dry and tough. I am trying to find some way to cook them so they come out tender. This sounds promising.
Karlynn J says
It’s all about the temperature! We can now cook pork to only 145 Fand if you watch the temperature closely and cook it to 145F they will be more tender!
Tat says
I was craving mushrooms and pork chops but…. I had the onions, garlic and pork chops ready to go. Grabbed a can of mushroom soup out of the pantry and opened it. Surprise, was actually a can of tomato soup, oops. So sauted a little bit of celery and added to the pork and continued on. like stewed tomato and pork. YUM Served with egg noodles and dinner was ready.
Shawn Alton says
I rarely comment on recipes I try for the first time. I have to on this one. I’m shocked that the negative Nellie’s are so RUDE! This recipe turned out amazing! They must not know know how to cook very well. Cast iron skillet, mushrooms and onions sautéed. Add chops to brown, add soup mix and cook for 25 minutes! Turned out AMAZING! I’m a foodie, self taught chef. I KNOW HOW TO COOK! This was great, and I will be adding this to my regular rotation. Thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️ So good!
Lorna Lee says
Mine turned out very good also,very tender and good flavor.Thank you
Cee says
What !!!!! No, I knew better. Maybe 2 1/2 hours at 275 degrees. Worst mess with me recipe ever.
Shawn Alton says
Wow! Really?
Carolyn says
The pork chops turned out well. My husband REALLY loves the recipe. I just had a little trouble with the onions and garlic getting too dark using this method. Maybe the pork chops should be seared in a separate pan(?)
Keith Bingham says
I used buttermilk as I had on hand and it turned out amazing. Great easy wholesome meal!
Me says
melt the butter…add the butter? confused
Mr. Kitchen Magpie says
Fixed, thanks for pointing that out.
Abby says
Can you make this a few hours ahead of time?
Susan says
Excellent! I made a few adjustments based on comments. I added a lot of g
Fresh spinach, 3-4 times the garlic and added sour cream to the milk. Baked 20 min. Yum!
Michelle says
I followed the directions as is but added about half a cup of water to the Mushroom soup and milk mix and put 1 cup of rice in the bottom of a glass baking dish. Then transfered the meat mixture on top of rice and poured the soup mix on top. It came out delicious and the meat was tender.
Thank you Karlynn for the great fast, easy and tasty recipe!
Jackie says
What does “nicely” mean in a recipe? (… brown the chops nicely). I have no idea what that means in food prep terms – “nice” is a rather vague term to me
Sue says
omg. I added sautéed & crimini mushrooms and more garlic. cooked at 300 for 2 hours covered, half hour uncovered. served with mashed 🥔 & green beans. yum!
Sue says
whoops. sautéed onions and….
CA Foreman says
added sour cream, cut the milk to 1/2 cup. extra pepper and garlic salt to the chops. sliced pare boiled potatoes to the chops. covered the whole thing with the soup mixture. one of my husband’s favorite meal.
John smith says
Terrible. 1 hour in the oven still not cooked.
Sue says
no I like low & slow. 2 hours covered at 300 & half hour uncovered. I added sautéed onions & fresh crimini mushrooms and a bit more garlic. yummy
JohnB says
low and slow does nothing to a meat that is virtually fat free. low and slow for a tough meat like pork shoulder with lots of fat and connective tissue does wonders on breaking down the fat and adding flavor.
low and slow does nothing for chicken and meats with no fat.
Joe says
you just suck at cooking.
Barbara Lucero says
haven’t tried it yet–but need to know if I can reheat it at all–would be making a side dish(higher oven temp) to serve immediately (carrots) but wondering if I can first prepare pork and set it aside
Carol Bryan says
I guess we aren’t supposed to put a cover over while baking? Was undecided, so I did cover. Would like to know which way is best way to do, please
Rufus Tee Firefly says
Hi Carol,
With the lid off worked great for me.
Heather Saly says
Kids love this. So quick and easy…not to mention yummy. This is a go to for me after a busy day at work.
Kayda Lowrie says
I add some dry onion soup mix to give it more flavor
Lianna Bos says
Absolutely perfect. I added a little bit of Worcestershire as well.
Linda A. says
This is how I used to cook pork chops and some chicken recipes when I was a young bride. You always knew it would be great. Plus, it’s hard to over-cook pork because it’s always tender!
Melissa says
Good stuff Lady. I seasoned my chops before pan frying then basted with mustard before pouring the soup over them just because I love mustard. 😃
Delaynah Bly says
That sounds delicious with mustard! I will be trying that myself
Ashley C says
easy peasy lemon squeezy! I loved how easy this was but I found I had to add another tbsp of butter after the onions were done cooking for the pork. Not sure but this may be because i have a nicely nonstick pan or because i was reheating frozen caramelized onions so they might have soaked up the butter faster! Also, pork was done pretty close to 20 minutes! I gave them time to sit after cooking mostly because the carrots weren’t steamed yet but it all came together great! My husband and 5 year old loved equally, and that’s a feat! Thanks for sharing!
Marie says
My husband asks for this constantly. Simple and delicious.
Mark says
Came out perfect! Added a little more butter when searing the chops. Also used a cast iron skillet. 20 minutes in the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. A true delight. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Jillian says
Made this tonight and it was great! I hate to be that person who *just changed a few things* but I did make some alterations:
Sauteed my onion with LOTS of garlic. Set aside. Then I sauteed mushrooms with a bit more garlic. Set aside. Then I browned the pork chops. I seasoned those with seasoning salt, pepper, and rosemary. Laid those into a glass baking sheet. Finally I put chopped broccoli into the pan and added some water to steam with all the remaining juices. Also sprinkled some seasoning salt on the broccoli.
At each step (except broccoli) always adding more butter!
For the soup mixture – I had 9 porkchops so I did two cans of soup and 1 can of milk.
At 350 it took 20 minutes even. My chops were probably 1/2 in thick.
I served over a Sidekicks Garlic and Parmesan rice I had in the pantry. Everything was delicious!
Wendy says
Your recipe sounds great! Going to try tonight!
emp says
I don’t understand the 5 rating. I made this exactly according to directions. It was totally tasteless.
Pooper says
Then add seasonings dumbars
Jennifer cruz says
lol I did it Hispanic style I put cilantro and some oregano pinch of Himalayan sea salt I ran out of pepper so skipped that did the whole butter thing it smells great so far…. its.still cooking right now.
Jen cruz says
oh garlic and sofrito as well just a bit less than what I’m normally used to put it not to kill the style. but let’s see.
Terri says
Name fits.
Laura Faber says
🤣
Jaime says
SAME!!!!!
Lisa says
Can you boil water? Also if you were to taste as you went you are allowed to adjust, add or season with whatever your personal tastes may be. However most people enjoy dish very much for the simplicity, ease & flavor of this dish. Not to mention husbands or men love it. You can also try it w/rice instead of potatoes but. You MUST use REAL salted Butter & like I said fast as u go salt,garlic,butter are always good. You can also use real cream or just half & half also.
Debbie says
Try adding about a tsp. of creamy peanut butter to the soup/milk mixture….adds that little bit of unexpected flavor
