Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with olive oil or butter.
Layer the thinly sliced potatoes across the bottom of the dish.
Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper, then arrange them over the potatoes.
In a bowl, combine the can of cream of mushroom soup with the onion soup mix. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the creamy mixture over the pork and potatoes, spreading evenly.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to lock in moisture.
Bake for 60 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the pork is cooked through.
Optional: Remove foil for the last 10 minutes to lightly brown the top.
Garnish with herbs and serve hot for the ultimate pork chop casserole experience.
Tips & Variations
Extra flavor: Sear the pork chops in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before baking for a deeper, richer taste.
Add veggies: Throw in a handful of sliced mushrooms, carrots, or green beans to bulk up the casserole.
Creamy upgrade: Swap cream of mushroom for cream of chicken or add ½ cup sour cream for extra creaminess.
Cheesy twist: Add shredded cheddar on top before baking for a cheesy crust.
Make ahead: Assemble in the morning, refrigerate, and bake later for a time-saving dinner.
