Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces bone-in pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick
  • 10.5 ounces can cream of mushroom soup
  • 0.5 cup whole milk
  • 1 ounce packet onion soup mix
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (optional, to taste)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a thin film of oil or nonstick spray.
  2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and arrange them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, onion soup mix, and black pepper (if using). Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated.
Cooking
  1. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35-45 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  2. Remove the foil and return to the oven uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes for a thicker sauce.
  3. Let the chops rest for 5 minutes before serving hot with the mushroom-onion gravy.

Notes

Serve these pork chops hot with sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary.
