📝 Description:

Pork Chop Supreme is a comforting, hearty dish featuring tender, seared pork chops smothered in a creamy, savory sauce made with onions, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream. It’s baked to perfection for a melt-in-your-mouth finish. Ideal for a cozy family dinner or weekend treat.

🧾 Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (1-inch thick)

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 medium onion, sliced

• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

• ½ cup sour cream

• ¼ cup milk

• ½ tsp paprika

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional garnish)

🔪 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Season both sides of pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3. Sear pork chops in olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned (about 2–3 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.

4. In the same pan, sauté sliced onions until soft and translucent.

5. In a bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, and paprika until smooth.

6. In a baking dish, layer sautéed onions on the bottom, place pork chops on top, and pour sauce over everything.

7. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

8. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10–15 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and slightly golden.

9. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving (optional).

🧠 Notes:

• Use bone-in pork chops for extra flavor and moisture.

• Cream of chicken soup can be used in place of mushroom for a milder flavor.

• Add mushrooms or bell peppers to the onion layer for extra depth.

• Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier alternative.

💡 Tips:

• For best texture, don’t skip searing the pork chops—it locks in flavor.

• You can prepare this dish a day ahead and reheat in the oven at 300°F until warmed through.

• Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered egg noodles to soak up the sauce.
