Shortcut Notes for Pork Chop Casserole

• No searing required: Simply place the pork chops directly into the baking dish.
• Stuffing shortcut: Use boxed stuffing mix for convenience and added flavor.
• Creamy topping: Skip making gravy by mixing condensed soup and sour cream for a simple, delicious sauce.

Ingredient Breakdown for Pork Chop Stuffing Casserole

• Boneless pork chops: Choose pork loin chops about ¾ inch thick. Avoid “thin cut” chops. Refer to the recipe Notes for adjustments to baking time based on chop thickness.
• Seasoning: A blend of garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, and black pepper enhances the pork chops.
• Stuffing: We recommend Stove Top Savory Herbs Stuffing Mix for its exceptional seasoning. Other varieties can also be used to customize the recipe.
• Low-sodium chicken broth: Essential for hydrating the stuffing and adding moisture.
• Cream of chicken soup: Serves as a creamy base for the casserole. Alternatives include cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup.
• Sour cream: Adds a rich, tangy flavor to the creamy sauce.

How to Make Baked Pork Chops with Stuffing Casserole

Follow these simple instructions to create a delicious and comforting pork chop and stuffing casserole.

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Season each pork chop with garlic powder, paprika, thyme, and black pepper. Then, arrange them evenly in the greased baking dish.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the chicken broth. Allow it to sit and rehydrate while you prepare the next steps.

In a separate small bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Spread this mixture evenly over the seasoned pork chops in the baking dish.

Evenly distribute the hydrated stuffing mix over the cream of chicken soup and sour cream mixture, covering all the pork chops. Cover the dish with foil.

Bake the covered casserole for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Remember, pork cooked to 145°F may have a slight blush of pink in the center, which is perfectly safe and indicates that the pork will be tender and juicy. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions for Pork Chop Casserole

Here are some ingredient substitutions you can make to customize this pork chop and stuffing casserole:

• Boneless pork chops: Bone-in chops can be used, but may require a longer baking time. We haven’t tested this recipe with bone-in chops, so adjust baking times accordingly.
• Stuffing: While this recipe was tested with Stove Top Stuffing, chicken or turkey flavor stuffing will also work.
• Chicken broth: Water can be used as a substitute for chicken broth.
• Cream of chicken soup: Cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup are great alternatives.
• Sour cream: Greek yogurt or mayonnaise can be used in place of sour cream.

Equipment Needed for Pork Chop and Stuffing Casserole

Ensure you have the necessary equipment for making this casserole:

• A 9×13 inch baking dish (or smaller if you are only cooking 4 chops).
• Mixing bowls for hydrating the stuffing and mixing the soup-sour cream mixture.
• Foil for covering the baking dish during the initial baking phase.

Behind the Recipe: Pork Chop Stuffing Bake

This recipe was inspired by a love for Stovetop stuffing and a desire to use up extra boxes from Sam’s Club. We hope you love this flavorful and easy-to-make stuffing bake as much as we do!

Our top tip is to use thicker pork chops. Finding thick-cut chops at the grocery store can be inconsistent, but Sam’s Club usually has them. Thinner chops tend to cook faster and can dry out easily, so thicker chops help retain moisture and ensure a juicy result.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pork Chop Casserole

Can I prep this in advance?

Yes, you can assemble the casserole, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. This makes it a great option for meal prepping.

Do I need to sear the pork chops first?

No, searing the pork chops is not necessary. The pork bakes covered, which helps it stay moist and tender without the need for pre-searing.
