Ingredient Notes
Here's what you need for the best oven baked pork chops with stuffing. Full measurements and directions are in the recipe card below.
- Pork Chops– Bone-in or boneless work well, about ½” to ¾” thick so they stay tender and juicy. Avoid thin-cut pork chops as they overcook quickly.
- Cream of Mushroom Soup– Adds creaminess and flavor to the pork chop stuffing bake. Cream of chicken or celery soup can also be used.
- Stove Top Stuffing– Any boxed stuffing mix works! Chicken, turkey, or cornbread stuffing all taste great.
- Chicken Broth– Moistens the stuffing; water works in a pinch.
- Salt/ Black Pepper– For seasoning the pork
How to Make Baked Pork Chops with Stuffing
Step 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish or use a cast iron skillet. Place in the dish and season with salt and pepper.
Step 2. Add Soup– Spread cream of mushroom soup over each chop.
Step 3. Prepare Stuffing– In a small bowl, combine dry stuffing mix with chicken broth until moistened. Spoon stuffing mixture evenly over chops. Cover with foil and bake 30-45 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until stuffing is golden.
Step 4. Serve & Enjoy– Perfect with green beans, roasted potatoes, or a salad.
Tips & Variations
After making this dish for years, here are some tips for success, as well as variation options to make this your own:
- Soup Swap– Use cream of chicken, cream of celery, or sour cream instead of mushroom.
- Extra Flavor– Add garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, red pepper flakes, or poultry seasoning.
- Fresh Herbs– Sprinkle parsley, thyme, or rosemary into the stuffing.
- Fruity Twist– Mix in diced apples, dried cranberries, or raisins to the stuffing before baking.
- Don’t Over-bake– thinner chops cook faster than thick pork chops. Adjust as needed as you don’t want the chops to overcook. Once they reach a temperature of 145 degrees, they are fully cooked.
- Make Ahead– Assemble the pork chop stuffing casserole up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Storage & Reheating
Once leftovers are fully cooled, here are some tips on storing for a later meal:
- Fridge– Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 4 days.
- Freezer– Freeze pork chops and stuffing in a freezer-safe container up to 3 months.
- Reheat– Cover with foil and heat in a 325°F oven for 20-30 minutes, or microwave in 30-second bursts. Add a splash of broth to keep it moist.
Baked Pork Chop FAQs
Yes! Swap for cream of chicken, cream of celery, or even sour cream for a different flavor.
Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Texas Roadhouse Loaded Sweet Potatoes, Garlic Parmesan Roasted Asparagus, a side salad, or bread item make great pairings for pork chop dishes.
Depending on the recipe, this varies. If you are looking for a browned, crisp crust, you’ll cook uncovered. Cooking covered keeps the pork moist and allows the internal temperature to raise before drying out the meat.
In this recipe, the stuffing gets placed on top, however, if you want to stuff the pork chops, I recommend slicing the pork chops in the middle to create a pocket. Stuff the mix inside and coat the outside of the pork chops with the cream of mushroom soup. Bake as directed.
Any boxed stuffing mix works - chicken, turkey, or cornbread stuffing are all delicious. Of course, homemade stuffing works great too!
