A delightful twist on classic pork chops, featuring a rich onion gravy and a simple baking method.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
Rub the seasoning in gently to enhance flavor penetration.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown.
Searing locks in juices and adds a delicious crust.
Arrange the seared pork chops in a baking dish.
Ensure the pork chops are in a single layer for even cooking.
Slice the onion thinly and spread over the pork chops.
Distribute the onion evenly for consistent flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and cream of celery soup. Mix well.
Mix until smooth to avoid lumps.
Pour the soup mixture over the pork chops and onions.
Ensure the gravy covers the pork chops for moist cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked.
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Serve the pork chops hot with the onion gravy spooned over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
