Ingredient Notes & Details
Pork Chops
Bone-in or boneless both work well, but thicker chops stay juicier. This baked pork chop recipe shines with center-cut pork chops.
Cream of Mushroom Soup
Creates the creamy base of the sauce. You can substitute cream of chicken if preferred.
Sour Cream
Adds richness and tang. Full-fat gives the best texture.
Onion Soup Mix
Brings deep savory flavor without extra chopping. This is the secret to that classic “supreme” taste.
Garlic Powder
Enhances flavor without overpowering.
Paprika
Adds warmth and subtle color.
Black Pepper
Balances the creamy sauce with mild spice.
Butter
Used for greasing the dish and optional richness.
Optional Fresh Parsley
Adds a fresh pop of color before serving.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 9×13 baking dish so nothing sticks.
This also adds a hint of buttery flavor to the bottom of the pork chops.
Arrange the Pork Chops
Lay the pork chops in a single layer in the baking dish.
Make sure they aren’t overlapping so they cook evenly and soak up the sauce.
Mix the Supreme Sauce
In a bowl, stir together cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, onion soup mix, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Mix until smooth and creamy with no streaks left.
Spread the Sauce Over the Chops
Pour the creamy mixture over the pork chops.
Use a spatula to spread it evenly, fully coating every piece.
Cover and Bake
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
This traps steam, keeping the pork moist and tender.
Uncover and Finish Baking
Remove foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the pork is cooked through.
The top will slightly thicken and develop a soft golden color.
Rest Before Serving
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens slightly and flavors settle.
