Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the pork chops in a skillet.
- Mix the cream of mushroom soup, catsup, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped onion.
- Pour the mixture over the browned pork chops.
- Cover and cook slowly on the stove until the pork is done, or bake uncovered in a 350°F oven for 1.5 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in the Worcestershire sauce for a few hours before cooking. If you want a lighter version, substitute the cream of mushroom soup with Greek yogurt mixed with seasonings. You can also use diced bell peppers or garlic for extra flavor. To avoid overcooking, use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches 145°F.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Amish Pork Chops with creamy mashed potatoes or a side of roasted vegetables for a comforting meal. A fresh green salad can add a nice contrast to the rich flavors. This dish pairs beautifully with Champagne Jelly for a unique twist. For a more hearty meal, consider serving it alongside Cabbage Chopped Suey.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pork chops in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of broth to keep them moist, or microwave them covered with a damp paper towel until heated through. Avoid reheating more than once to maintain quality.
