Best Baked Pork Chops

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Mix cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, mushrooms, green onions, rice, and Worcestershire in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

Combine garlic powder, chipotle pepper, and salt in a small bowl, adjusting seasoning mix to taste.

Step 4

Rinse pork chops and pat dry. Season both sides of chops with seasoning mix.

Step 5

Heat bacon grease over medium heat in a large, heavy frying pan. Fry chops 2 at a time until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place browned chops in the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Pour soup and rice mixture over the pork chops, covering well. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until pork is no longer pink in the center and topping is golden brown, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
