It took me a long time to develop a good, tender and tasty pork chop recipe after trying many different recipes. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter |
3 large boneless center cut pork chops, minimum 1-inch thick (6 ounces each) |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 -10 ounce. can cream of mushroom soup |

1/4 cup freshly grated padano cheese |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek |
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg |
1 cup finely sliced onion |
1 cup grated russet potatoes (scrub only) or 1 cup yukon gold potato (scrub only) |
1 medium sweet red pepper, seeded and julienned |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Prepare a 9 x 9 oven-proof casserole dish by rubbing inside with butter.
3. In a frying pan on medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then add pork chops and sear for about 3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
4. Transfer the pork chops to the prepared casserole dish in a single layer.
5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together, mushroom soup, whole milk, padano cheese, salt, Sambal Oelek and freshly grated nutmeg. Pour mixture over the pork chops.
6. Sprinkle the sliced onion over the top, then sprinkle with the grated potato over the top.
7. Layer the julienned sweet red pepper over the top.
8. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
9. Bake in preheated 400 F oven for 30 minutes.
10. Reduce heat to 375 F and continue to cook covered, for another 15 minutes.
11. Serve over cooked rice if desired.
