Directions:Preheat your oven to 350º. I use a nice old pretty COVERED casserole dish that was my mama's for this dish that is bright blue, but a nice white one is good too. The chops will come out covered in a nice "orange" colored gravy. So pick a pretty casserole dish that will compliment your chops to set out on the table!
Now, in a frying pan or skillet, lightly brown those pork chops on both sides. Remove them from the skillet and set them on a paper towel--you know, to get off any grease!
**Now, get a small mixing bowl and mix together the soup, ketchup and worchestershire sauce. Mix it well--it should turn a nice orange color. Set aside.
Then, take your onion and peel and slice it--like you would for hamburger slices. I peel my onion skins under cold water to keep from crying. I never seem to cry when I peel onions, so this must work. I cry plenty of other times, though, so I sure don't need an onion to make me cry!
Now, take that pretty covered casserole dish and I suggest you lightly spray it with Pam or some kind of baking spray as it will be a dilly to clean up! Spread out your first layer of pork chops on the bottom, then alternate with some onion slices and build your next layers. Then take your bowl of sauce and spread it all over the top.
Cover this with the casserole lid and place it in the oven at 350º for one hour. Uncover and serve!
*You can substitute a can of cream of mushroom soup if you run out of cream of chicken; we have a time or two, but the flavor is not quite as good. Cream of celery is NOT good--I have a different recipe for that!
**ALWAYS mix up the soup mixture in a separate bowl and then pour it over the TOP of the chops. I have tried mixing it in the casserole to save clean-up and if the sauce is at the bottom of your pan, it burns! Learn from my mistake-and trust me, I tried this one and learned the hard way! |
