Step 4: Scatter the Stuffing
Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the pork chops. Don’t press it down—just scatter it loosely so it covers the surface.
The dry stuffing will absorb moisture from the creamy mixture and steam from the pork as it bakes, becoming soft underneath while lightly crisp on top.
Step 5: Pour Over the Cream Mixture
Slowly pour the soup mixture evenly over the stuffing layer. Try to distribute it across the entire dish so every bite gets coated.
Some of the stuffing will stay visible on top—that’s perfect. It creates texture once baked.
Step 6: Cover and Bake
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 35–40 minutes.
This covered baking time allows:
- The pork to cook gently
- The stuffing to absorb moisture
- The flavors to blend beautifully
Step 7: Uncover and Finish Baking
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes.
This step helps:
- The stuffing top turn golden
- The edges become slightly crisp
- The sauce thicken slightly
The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the juices run clear.
Let It Rest
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
This helps the juices redistribute inside the pork chops and allows the sauce to set slightly.
Serving Suggestions
This baked supper is hearty enough on its own, but you can serve it with:
- Steamed green beans
- Roasted carrots
- Mashed potatoes
- A crisp garden salad
The creamy sauce pairs beautifully with simple vegetables.
Tips for Extra Flavor
If you want to elevate it even more:
- Add thinly sliced onions under the pork chops
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar on top during the last 10 minutes
- Add a handful of sliced mushrooms for earthiness
- Stir a teaspoon of Dijon mustard into the soup mixture
