Tonight for dinner I made my husbands favorite dish. Pork Chop Casserole. It’s so easy to make, and yet so homey and tasty! It is however, made with two ingredients he never liked so I would only make it on nights he had to work. Then one evening he came home late–and had not eaten all day. He asked if we had anything–and I told him we had left over casserole in the fridge, but I wasn’t sure he would like it. Well, I was wrong! Like I said, it’s his favorite dish–and even though he’s a Chef–his version just can’t top mine!

Honestly–the recipe is amazingly easy and versatile. In fact, there a couple of different ways to create it–but that end up the same! For this version–you get the LONG way!
Sadly, there are no “measurable” ingredients! Sorry–this one is all pour and dump!!
First, line the bottom of your pan with raw pork chops. The size of the pan and number of pork chops needed will depend on your family size. I use a large casserole dish with 5 pork chops for 6 people. Sprinkle the top of the pork chops with salt and pepper and garlic powder. It goes into the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you are ready for level two. Again based on family size you may need to add only 1 can–but for my 6 people–I put 2 cans of Mushroom Soup in a bowl, add 1 can of milk, and a can of chopped mushrooms. Stir to mix, and then (after draining the grease from the cooked chops) pour mixture over the pork chops to cover. This is in the oven for 10 minutes. As soon as you put this in the oven, cut off the top of a package of Stove Top stuffing. Add 1 1/2 Cups of water directly into the Stove Top bag–it’s waterproof–you are fine! Let this sit for the remainder of the 10 minutes. When the time is up, sprinkle the softened stuffing all over the top of the soup mixture, again to cover. This goes back into the oven for 10 more minutes.
When finished–scoop out each pork chop, turning them over onto the plate. Stuffing is now on the bottom, with a yummy gravy spilling through, and a yummy gravied pork chop looking up at you! That’s it! That is a two dish meal, and it tastes amazing!!
