Oven-Baked Pork Chops with Cream Sauce

Image
8 Pork chops 3 Onions, sliced 4-6 Mushrooms, sliced 2 cans Cream of Mushroom condensed soup (Campbell's Healthy Request) Preheat oven to 350°F. Trim off as much fat as you can from the pork chops. Lay the pork chops on an oven pan. Overlay the meat with onions and mushrooms. Cover the top with the cream of mushroom soup. Bake for 45 minutes, uncovered. Serve with your favourite sidedish.

Very yummy!! I believe this recipe would also taste really good with the Campbell's condensed tomato soup.

Oven Roasted Potatoes

4-6 Potatoes, diced 3 Onions, cut small 6 Mushrooms, sliced 6 tbsp Butter Salt & Pepper Soak the potatoes for 10 min in cold water. Spread some butter the bottom of the aluminum foil to prevent sticking. Place the potatoes, onion and mushrooms on the tinfoil. Divide the rest of the butter among the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Close up the foil pouch and double wrap with a second piece of foil. Bake 375°F for 40 minutes. Alternatives: Cook on the BBQ for 25 min, flip once.

This recipe calls for a lot of butter. I believe you can replace the butter with olive or vegetable oil as a healthier alternative. However, I have never tried it becau

Add a little bit of salt and pepper for taste. Cover the chicken with the mix and marinade in the fridge for an hour. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the sliced onion on the bottom of a casserole dish. Put the chicken on top of the onions and pour the rest of the marinade into the dish. Lay the fresh rosemary on top of the chicken. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Cover with the casserole dish with tin foil and bake for another 30 minutes. My comments: I found the original recipe from AllRecipes.com and made a few modifications of my own. My chicken was wonderful; both Hubby and I enjoyed it tremendously. The meat was moist and flavourful. My only complaint is that I could barely taste the rosemary. I only used 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary this time because all the
