Ingredients
Scale
For the Pork Chops and Sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 large onion, sliced into rings about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick
- 6 boneless pork chops
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 (10-ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Sauté Onions: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion rings and sauté for about 12 minutes, flipping halfway through until the onions are soft and lightly caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
- Brown Pork Chops: Increase heat to medium-high and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Place pork chops in the skillet and brown on each side for about 2 minutes until nicely seared.
- Prepare Sauce: While pork chops brown, in a medium bowl combine the cream of chicken soup, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well mixed.
- Simmer Pork Chops in Sauce: Once the pork chops are browned, place one onion ring on top of each chop in the skillet. Pour the prepared soup mixture evenly over the onions and pork chops. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Crock Pot Option: After browning the pork chops and sautéing onions as above, transfer the chops to a crock pot, top with the onions, pour the sauce over everything, and cook on high for about 4 hours until tender and fully cooked.
Notes
- For best flavor, use boneless pork chops about 1 inch thick.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches safe internal temperature of 160°F.
- Alternatively, this dish can be prepared entirely in a crock pot after browning the meat and sautéing onions on the stovetop.
