Step 1

Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Generously season pork chops on all sides with salt, then sear 2-3 minutes per side in skillet or until golden brown.

Step 3

Mix together condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and half of the French-fried onions in a large bowl.

Step 5

Bake 30 minutes, then remove foil, top with remaining French-fried onions and bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes.
