Ingredients
Instructions

- Add the tomato soup, water, Worcestershire sauce, salt, potatoes, carrots, and onion to the skillet.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in Worcestershire sauce and garlic before browning. You can substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes for a different taste. If you don't have tomato soup, crushed tomatoes or a can of diced tomatoes can work as a replacement. Adding herbs like thyme or rosemary can enhance the dish even further.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the skillet pork chop supper with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. A simple Fresh Layered Lettuce Salad pairs beautifully with this hearty dish, adding a refreshing crunch. For a more filling meal, consider serving it with creamy mashed potatoes or a side of green beans.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of water to maintain moisture. Ensure the pork and vegetables are heated thoroughly before serving again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in pork chops for this recipe?
Yes, bone-in pork chops can be used! They will add more flavor to the dish, and the cooking time may remain the same, but ensure they are cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F.
What can I substitute for tomato soup?
If you don't have tomato soup on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of crushed tomatoes mixed with a bit of sugar to mimic the sweetness of the soup. This will still give a rich flavor to the dish.
How do I ensure the pork chops don't dry out?
To prevent the pork chops from drying out, avoid cooking them at too high a temperature. Simmering them covered for the full hour allows them to stay moist and tender. Additionally, using thicker chops can help retain moisture during cooking.
