Sirloin Chops
Juicy pork sirloin chops baked in a creamy celery sauce with garlic and onion flavors, perfect for a comforting family dinner or Sunday meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- First, fry the pork chops until browned on both sides.
- Add cream of celery soup, garlic powder, onion powder, water, and pepper to the pan.
- Simmer, covered, for 45 minutes until the chops are tender and flavors meld.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika to the sauce mixture. If you don't have cream of celery soup, cream of mushroom or chicken soup can be good substitutes. To ensure even cooking, make sure your pork chops are of uniform thickness. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chops toward the end and let the sauce simmer uncovered for a few minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these sirloin chops with creamy mashed potatoes or a side of steamed vegetables for a comforting meal. A fresh salad, like Sunday Chicken Salad, can provide a refreshing contrast. For a complete dinner, consider pairing the chops with garlic bread or a crusty roll to soak up the delicious sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chops in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep them moist, and cover to prevent drying out. You can also heat them in the microwave for a quick option, but be cautious not to overheat.
