Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons butter
• 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
• 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 5 boneless pork chops

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble, being careful not to burn. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pork chops and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a large baking dish, leaving pan drippings in the skillet.

Step 3

Bake chops in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, add sour cream to the skillet and whisk together with the pan drippings until smooth. Add canned soup and whisk until incorporated.

Step 5

Remove chops from the oven and pour sour cream-soup mixture over top. Return to the oven and bake until chops are no longer pink in the center, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 6

Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
