I'm sorry but we did not like this at all. The pork was bland and there was no flavor with the potatoes at all. I don't think that I could give a true rating if I was going to change everything and add a ton of spices. As written...too bland, but tinkering with spices your family likes will definately help with flavor. I won't be making as written, but would try again with lots of spices. Thanks for the post.

I give this a 5 just for the ease of it. You should have no problem seasoning this dish to your families taste. If you look at the ingredients as written, you should be able to tell if you would want more spices in it. Some people dont over season their food, if they season at all.. I'm sure the soup mix would be sufficient for flavor to someone who just throws the chops (or whatever you're cooking) in the oven and bake them plain, as I have seen many do. My mother included. Anyway, I just put the chops (without browning) or potatoes, which ever I have ready first in the pan followed by the other. Whip up the soup mix, adding garlic, pepper, or whatever I feel like putting in that night. Pour it over the chops and potatoes and bake. Simple, quick and delicious. The whole family loved it. Thank You!!

I tried this last night. I browned the chops with masala powder for a kick, sauted onions, garlic and 1 chilli together with some red bell peppers and the soup and baked covered. Chops were tender and the chilli and masala was a nice kick. Will be making again

This is actually a very good recipe if done right. First you would want to use a more fatty pork steak versus pork chop (this helps not only the flavor of the dish, but the flavor of the meat.) Before frying the pork, you need to coat it with flour. Then on med. high heat you brown the pork steak. Season with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic to taste. Make sure you just brown the meat on both sides, as it will finish cooking in the oven. Slice your potatoes fairly thin (russet potatoes are best) as this will decrease your cooking time and your pork will not get too dry. Place potatoes in a prepared 13x9x2 cooking dish (spray with cooking spray.) By the way, this takes 6-8 large potatoes and 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup mixed with 1 can of milk or evaporated milk. Pour soup over potatoes, making sure to cover potatoes thoroughly. Save enough soup to pour over pork. Place pork on top of potatoes and pour just enough soup down the middle of each pork steak, (do not smother.) Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 35 to 45 minutes, or until juices run clear of meat and potatoes are tender. Green beans any way, shape, or form are an excellent side dish for this meal. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family and I do. My mom started making this dish for me when I was a little girl. I am now 50 years old and enjoy it now as much as I did then, and so does my family and friends. Thanks, Kim's Korner

DH loved this casserole! I thought it was ok. I did season the chops with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Also added two slices of onion. Next time I may brown the chops a little more and carmelize the onions for a little more flavor. Make sure to turn down the heat to low or medium low after adding the potatoes and soup. Both were deliciously tender after 45 minutes!

thank you for sharing. I love it. I do season up the pork before cook it.

I tried this recipe out and it was really great! I sauteed some onions & garlic (just a little), seasoned up the pork chops and cooked them fully. I cooked the sliced potatoes seperately only to give them some color and when they were about done, I mixed the chops & taters together, added cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup (two cans each, we have a very large family) and heated it through. It was GREAT and there were no left-overs for the next day. Even my picky son ate two servings!! Don't try this recipe without first seasoning the chops and adding a little seasoning to the potatoes, too; otherwise it will be way too bland.

I made it exactly like the recipe called for, and the soup cooked down to nothing and the pork and potatoes were overcooked. I did like the taste, all I added was salt and pepper. Next time, I plan on adding lots of mushrooms and watching it better so nothing overcooks. It was a very easy and potentially delicious recipe!

All in all it is a good recipe but to add some flavor I always add onion to it...just slice them up in O's and add it to the soup mixture before adding it to the oven..just a little tip :)

The pork was very tender, but all in all, the recipe was extremely bland. I even stopped cooking 10 minutes early, because the soup mixture was completely cooking down to nothing. I was expecting more of a casserole (creamy) taste and look to it, but it was just pork and potatoes when it was said and done. I think with some tweaking, this recipe could be delicious. Thanks for sharing it!

Sorry....extremely bland.

This was so good! My husband and kids loved it. The meat was very tender and the potatoes tasty. I added garlic powder, salt, pepper and onions and had it with fresh green beans. Delicious!

The only thing I changed with this recipe was I rubbed the chops with orgeno, salt and pepper. The I spinkled them with garlic powder when they were cooking. I also added more potatoes since I used 6 pork chops and I used 2 cans of mushrooms soup. This was SO GOOD! I will definitely make it again!

my whole family loved this.

The *** I gave this was mostly my fault... Here's what I did: I sprinkled the pork chops with seasoning salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning before browning them with some chopped onion. To the soup, I added garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and chives. Now, here is where I probably made the mistake: Per previous comments, I wanted to make sure there was enough sauce, so I added a small can of evaporated milk. DO NOT ADD EVAPORATED MILK!! My potatoes ended up sticking to the bottom of the pan so bad that I was scraping overcooked/almost-burnt potato chunks out. The potatoes ended up tasting GREAT (even the overcooked, scraped-out bits!), but the chops didn't come out so well. My daughter ate some of the chops but both my husband and I were really not thrilled with the chops. They were really dry. Again, probably my fault. Next time, I'll either use the original recipe (plus seasonings) in the slow cooker or I'll just cook the potatoes in the soup and prepare the chops separately. Thanks for an interesting base recipe! *** UPDATED 12/14/05 - Made it again without the milk, same stuck-to-the-pan end. Must be my pan. It's easy and convenient, the taste is fine (once you spice up a regular can of soup)... But the chops weren't great and the baked-on factor means I probably won't make again.

This was a very easy and yummy recipe! I added some Italian seasoning to the pork chops before browning and used the roasted garlic mushroom soup. My hubby loved it and it was so easy!
