    The Best Pork Chop Casserole

    If you've been following the blog, then you know I've been obsessed with making casseroles. I mean, they're just so simple to put together and make for the perfect busy weeknight dinner or satisfying leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day. 

    Now, out of the casserole recipes I've made recently, this pork chop casserole has to be one of my favorites. It takes boneless pork chops to another level by cooking them alongside a few the other ingredients, so they stay super tender and juicy throughout the cooking process.

    The pork chops are layered in a creamy seasoned base with rice throughout, then they're topped off with melty shredded mozzarella cheese and french fried onions for a little crunch. Gah, this casserole is just so good. My mouth is watering just describing it.

    Plus, the best part about this recipe is that it's so quick and easy to make. You basically just put all of the ingredients in a casserole dish and then pop it in the oven. You barely have to do any work!

    So, while this pork chop casserole is baking away, you'll have plenty of time whip up some side dishes to go along with it. A few of my favorites to serve next to it are these sweet potato biscuits, these Chinese green beans, and these french fries.

    Ingredients

    As far as ingredients go, just a few common pantry/kitchen staples are all you'll need to make this pork chop casserole. And, honestly, theres a good chance that you have most - if not all - of them at your house already.

    Anyway, here's what you need to make this pork chop casserole recipe:

    • 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
    • ½ cup Milk
    • 1 tbsp. Italian Seasoning
    • 2 cups Brown Rice, cooked
    • 6 Boneless Pork Chops
    • 1 ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
    • ½ cup Green Onions, chopped
    • ½ cup Crispy French Fried Onions

    Super simple stuff, right?

    By the way, if you want to make some more casserole recipes with just a couple of basic ingredients, you have to give this shrimp casserole or poppy seed chicken casserole a try next!

    And if you love pork, you'll want to make my pulled pork casserole. It has everything you love about a pulled pork sandwich in casserole form.

    An assortment of ingredients including a plate of raw pork chops and bowls of cooked rice, soup, shredded cheese, green onion, sour cream, and seasonings.

    Ingredient Substitutions And Modifications

    Now, I always make this pork chop casserole recipe with the ingredients above. But, with that said, there are some simple swaps you can make and still have the recipe turn out just as delicious.

    For instance, in this recipe, I used condensed cream of mushroom soup, but you can also use golden mushroom soup, or any condensed cream soup, like cream of chicken or cream of celery.

    As for the pork chops, I definitely recommend boneless pork chops since they tend to cook better and require less prep work. That being said, if you can only find bone-in pork chops - or if that's what you already have at home - you can use bone in chops, to make it. Just keep in mind that you might have to cook the casserole for a few minutes longer.

    Now, if you want to make this recipe heartier - and a little healthier - you can add green beans, broccoli, bell peppers, or really any veggies that you want to it.

    Lastly, for the rice and cheese, you can really use any kinds that you want. I always go with brown rice and mozzarella cheese but feel free to use white rice and shredded cheddar cheese. Seriously, any and every kind of rice and cheese will work well in this pork chop casserole recipe.

    How To Make Pork Chop Casserole

    As far as easy to make casserole recipes go, this one might be the easiest. As I mentioned, it takes just 5 minutes to prep this recipe. And, again, it's as simple as just layering all of the ingredients in a casserole dish and baking them in the oven. 

    Anyway, let's stop wasting time and get cooking.

    White baking dish filled with raw pork in a soup mixture with rice and cheese added. Next to the baking dish is a kitchen towel and bowls of green onions and fried onions.

    Step 1: Prep Work

    First, you'll want to begin by preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish (or something similar in size) by spraying it with the cooking spray.

    Next, take out a large bowl and add the mushroom soup (or any condensed cream soup), milk of your choice, and Italian seasonings. Then, give it a little whisk until everything is well combined.

    Step 2: Layer The Casserole

    Now that the oven is preheated and the soup mixture is ready to go, you can add the cooked rice evenly to the bottom baking dish, followed by half of the soup mixture.

    Next, season the pork chops with a little salt and pepper and layer them on top of the rice. Then, you can pour the rest of the soup mixture on top of the pork chops and sprinkle on a fourth of the cheese.

    Step 3: Bake The Casserole

    So, now that the casserole is prepared, you can put it in the oven and bake it for 30 minutes or until the pork chops are nearly done cooking. Just check the internal temperature of the chops, you'll want to pull them when they reach around 145°F.

    Then, you can evenly sprinkle the rest of the shredded mozzarella - or cheddar cheese - on top and return the dish back to the oven and continue baking until the cheese has completely melted.

    Finally, when the pork chops casserole is done baking, top it with fresh green onions and french fried onions and enjoy!

    How To Store Pork Chop Casserole

    This recipe for pork chop casserole will make about 6 servings. So it's really perfect for a big family dinner, and you might even have some leftovers for dinner the next day.

    Speaking of leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container or put a lid on the casserole dish. Stored either of these ways, the leftovers will last in the fridge for about 3-4 days.

    Alternatively, if you want your pork chop casserole to last even longer, you can freeze it for about 2-3 months.

    By the way, I recommend storing the leftovers without the french fried onions on top. Otherwise they'll get soggy and nobody like a soggy french fried onion. Am I right?

    How To Reheat Pork Chop Casserole

    Ok, so once you're ready to eat this delicious pork chop casserole again, you'll definitely want to reheat it.

    To do that, just put your leftover casserole back in a baking dish and cover it with foil. Then, warm it in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes - or until the cheese melts again and the filling is warmed through. 

    Oh, and if you're reheating the frozen casserole, you'll just need to add some more cooking time to what I suggested. Most likely it will take 30-40 minutes.

    Wrapping It Up

    Well, that's how to make pork chop casserole!

    If you like pork chops, this might just become your favorite casserole recipe ever! The combination of the savory soup filled with the juicy seasoned pork chops, rice, and melted cheese makes for one perfect meal. That, along with how quick and easy it is to put together, you just can't beat it. 

    Anyway, I hope you like this recipe as much as my family and I do.

      Could you omit the rice or can you suggest a good substitute for it? Maybe potatoes of some kind?
      Thanks!

              It was great, even as left overs. ai used to make one with browned pork chops crean of chicken soup with 3/4 can milk, onions and seasonings, ice cream scoops of quick turkey dressing on top of chops, finely chopped celery all smothered with the 2 cans of cream of chicken soup whipped with 1.5 cans of milk. topping with you favorite cheese optional. cover cook at 350° for 1 hr. great to use with leftover turkey and chicken as well.

        I made this again, except this time used chicken breast, and man-oh-man, it turned out great. This is just a great recipe I have shared with business friends and personal friends and everyone agrees, it's a very tasty Casserole, just cut the breast in half lengthwise and cook for 35 to 40 minutes to perfection. Otherwise, all the exact same ingredients!!

          Boredom sent me looking for a new way to prepare porkchops and I found the best addition in this simple yet very tasty casserole. The only thing I added was a tblsp of garlic powder. Otherwise, I followed the recipe verbatim. Thank you so very much for sharing this scrumptious recipe, and my family thanks you too. Happy New Year!!
