What Sides Go Well with Baked Cream of Mushroom Pork Chops?
Well, I told y’all what I was making to pair with the creamy mushroom pork chops, but just about any side dish would work.
- I’m having the cauliflower casserole only because my neighbor dropped off a ton of food from the farmers’ market since she’s going on vacation and doesn’t want it to go bad.
- Otherwise, I probably would have made corn maque choux, which is a favorite of mine.
- There is something about pork and mashed potatoes, though. Garlic mashed potatoes. OK, now I want to change what I’m making tonight.
- Southern-style green beans with bacon and onion would pair perfectly with the pork chops.
- French fries would be great to dip into the mushroom gravy.
Here are some more yummy pork chops side dish ideas.

The Best Pork Chops to Buy for Oven Baked Pork Chops with Cream of Mushroom Soup
It really doesn’t matter if you get bone-in or boneless pork chops. for this recipe. You can choose whatever type of pork chops you prefer.
I’m using boneless pork chops, but only because I had those in the freezer. And the only reason the boneless pork chops landed in the freezer is that they were on sale. Hey, inflation is real, y’all.
However, it’s best to get about 1-inch pork chops. If you can’t get those since there aren’t that many selections at the store these days, just don’t bake the pork chops as long.
They are ready when the pork chops reach 145 degrees internally.
The pork chops go so well with the diced onion and the creamy mushroom sauce with extra mushrooms thrown in.
And to give it a little kick, we’re going to toss in some Cajun seasoning and garlic in this recipe. I like Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning, but Tony Chachere Creole Seasoning is just as good.
Do I Have to Use Cream of Mushroom Soup to Make Mushroom Pork Chops?
No, you do not have to use cream of mushroom soup. Sure, cream of mushroom pork chops is good (and mushroom cream sauce is divine), but you can also use cream of chicken soup. Cream of broccoli soup would work as well.
We’re just going to turn the soup into a form of gravy or sauce for the cooked pork chop dish.
Cream of potato soup might also work out. Just think of what soup would work out as a base for the gravy, and it should be fine.
Do you want a super unique flavor for your baked cream of mushroom pork chops? Consider using onion soup.
You can also use sour cream for a ton of flavor. You can use flour to thicken the sauce.
I’ve made this baked pork chop recipe with mushroom soup and with chicken soup. Both choices of soup are just as good as the other. Once again, I looked at what was in the pantry, so I decided on mushroom soup.
How to Make Cream of Mushroom Pork Chops
Cream of mushroom pork chops is an easy peasy recipe to throw together.
Step 1:
You’ll start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Add Cajun seasoning to both sides of the pork chops.
Step 2:
Now you’ll melt some butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the butter to the pan. When it gets hot, add the onions, and mushrooms. Saute until tender. Add the garlic, stirring for about 30 seconds. I usually use more garlic than most people, so I toned down the garlic in this recipe.
Step 3:
Add the pork chops and brown them on each side, pushing the other ingredients in the pan aside.
Step 4:
Mix together the soup, milk, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Put the pork chops in a baking dish.
Combine the milk and soup until you have a smooth mixture, and pour it over the pork chops. Once the sauce is mixed thoroughly, pour it over the pork chops.
Step 5:
How long do you bake pork chops in the oven at 350 degrees? You’re going to bake the cream of mushroom pork chops at 350 degrees until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. This will take about 25 minutes.
That’s it. Pretty easy, huh?
Creamy Mushroom Sauce Just Screams for Crusty Bread
And the mushroom gravy is good as a dip for crusty bread or poured over garlic mashed potatoes.
It’s a similar tasting sauce as you get from smothered pork chops. However, the base of that sauce is chicken broth.
I tend to like dishes that have gravy or sauce with them. And the sauce thing is why I’m not losing weight even though I exercise.
The love of sauces must be a New Orleans thing. My aunt had sky-high cholesterol levels, and she said she just loved sauce with her food.
OK, skinny people, how do you do it? I’m not going to use yogurt in the place of a delicious sauce. Although, I do use a yogurt sauce with baked salmon.
But that’s not happening here. This is a sauce-friendly mushroom recipe. So there, world! The sauce stays.
Let’s goooo!
