This Pork Chop Casserole recipe is a quick and easy dinner, not to mention quite tasty as well! How does only 3 ingredients sound too?
I have no idea where my mother originally got the recipe. She very well may have made it up. I just don’t know. This has always been an easy go-to recipe for those busy times when a good, hot meal is needed but not much time is available for meal preparation.
The basic recipe is only 3 ingredients, however I like to add a can of mushrooms because we love them! This is one of those recipe’s that you can play with and personalize to suit your family’s taste.
- 3-4 center cut pork chops
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 2-3 red potatoes
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Preheat the oven to 350°
- Wash and drain the pork chops and place into prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the potatoes into relatively thin slices and place around the pork chops in the casserole dish.
- Pour 1 can of cream of mushroom soup over the top of the pork chops and potatoes.
- Cove with foil and bake at 350° for 30 to 45 minutes. (Oven temps vary)
- Serve with your favorite dinner rolls and enjoy!
This is about how thin I slice my potatoes. You will notice, I leave the skins on. We prefer center cut pork chops but have also made this meal with bone-in which is just as good. I’m cooking for 2 but always cook 3 pork chops in case my husband wants second, which he always does!
While going through my mother’s recipe collection, I came across some jokes. This particular one was in a hand typed cookbook which my mother’s best friend, Jean J. made with her own recipe collection. I always called her Mrs. J and considered her to be my ‘other mother’. I think you will find her joke amusing.
Guilty Plea
I’m guilty, Judge,
I fell apart.
I ground him in the Cuisinart.
That is the last time,
He will say,
“That’s what I had for lunch today.”

That joke is awesome 🙂 And I know a certain Mr. around here that would love this recipe! Thanks so much for sharing it at On Display Thursday this week!
Your grandmother’s recipes sounds good too. I’m wondering if she actually baked the potatoes first before putting the rest of the casserole on top?
You can never go wrong with mushroom soup! My grandmother used to make something similar to this, but she used baked potatoes on the bottom, layered the pork chops on top and then smothered with the soup. Can’t wait to give this simpler version a try!
Coming to you from the Momma Told Me link up 🙂
This looks so yummy! I’ve gotta try this soon!
Thanks Amanda! Yes, those quick and easy meals are just the best, especially when they are tasty too!
This sounds very very tasty! I love quick and easy meals that don’t require a lot of prep but still taste delicious!
My husband is exactly the same way! He doesn’t care for leftovers unless it is lasagna, soup or baked spaghetti.
It is the kind of recipe that men love, meat and potatoes! The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, they say 🙂
Thanks for the Pin, Lorelai! Wasn’t that funny 🙂
These looks delicious, and how easy! Pinned. Hahaha… you gotta love a Cuisinart… 😉

And lol at the joke!!
No kidding, the recipe is too easy! I know hubby would enjoy something like this.
Okay, LOL at the joke, because my husband and I JUST had this conversation about leftovers yesterday – “I don’t want the same thing I had for lunch for dinner!” LOL This looks like a yummy comfort food recipe!
Those old cookbooks provide a lot of entertainment, they are not just for recipes are they? For me, looking at cookbooks is a lot like looking at pictures, I get caught up in it and the next thing you know, hours have passed 🙂
I hope you enjoy the Pork Chop Casserole. I know we will be enjoying that Mexican Corn Casserole soon 🙂
I hope you give the recipe a try, Dee. Let me know how you family liked it! I love using recipes which allow room to make changes, I’d love to hear how you make yours.
Cute joke, Shirley! And I love pork chops cooked that way and I leave the skin on my potatoes, too. They are too good to cut away.
A few days ago my youngest daughter was browsing through one of my old cookbooks and she found a joke and couldn’t stop laughing.
Your pork chop casserole is perfect for a cold winter night! I’ll be making it soon!
This sounds great, Shirley, and I was planning on making pork chops tomorrow. I may have to change the recipe! Love the joke too. 🙂
