Pork Chop Stuffing Bake
It doesn’t get much easier than a package of pork chops, a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, some sautéed veggies, and savory stuffing mix.

Pork Chop and Stuffing Bake Tips
Tips
- Don’t over bake the pork chops! When pork chops are over baked, they become dry, tough, and difficult to cut.
- Wrap the pan tightly with foil. You’ll want to make sure the pan is wrapped tightly so the pork chops don’t dry out.
- Cook to the correct temp. Make sure to cook the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
Substitutions and Variations
- Condensed Soup: If you aren’t a fan of cream of mushroom soup or don’t have it handy, try cream of chicken or cream of celery instead.
- Sautéed Veggies: For a super simple recipe, omit the celery and onions. It may alter the flavor, but it removes an entire step.
- Omit the Sour Cream: I love to add sour cream to add extra creaminess, but you don’t have to use it. Or, add a little milk, heavy cream, or half and half instead.
- For extra flavor, add some Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to the soup mixture.
- Seasonings: Garlic powder is a flavorful mix-in, but don’t forget about paprika, thyme, onion powder, sage, or your other favorite seasonings.
- Choose your favorite stuffing flavor. There are several different varieties and flavors of stuffing mix. I love savory herb stuffing, but turkey and chicken are some other tasty options.
Storage
Refrigerator: Store leftover pork chop and stuffing bake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Microwave leftover pork chops until warmed through, or warm in the oven on 350°F to help maintain texture.

Cook times seem off. After 35 minutes in a 350 degree oven, everything was barely warm and pork chops were dead raw.
Hi Coyote! Thank you for the feedback. The cook times can vary a bit depending on the thickness and variety of pork chop. Not sure if that was in play here. Sorry this one didn’t work out.
Did not turn out as indicated. Stuffing was mushy.
Good morning Debbie, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe. It’s boxed stuffing, I’m not quite sure what you expected. In fact, you read our FAQ’s (not sure if you did or not), we addressed how to get a crunchy topping. The stuffing underneath will still be mushy due to wet ingredients. Again, not sure if you followed those extra steps. In closing, sorry you didn’t enjoy it. Have a nice day 🙂
I added a bunch of mushrooms to the onions and celery as I had to use them up. Delicious!!
Thank you Jacie! Adding those extra veggies probably tasted amazing. Thank you again sharing and have a lovely day 🙂
I made this last night. I think it would be much better if you browned the chops first. More onions, celery and garlic. I think it needs to bake much longer because the pork chops were to temperature but were tough. I like to bake my chops for an hour or hour and half for perfect tenderness. If you use a recipe and find doing a few things works better for you don’t be afraid to put in your own touch. Tell the rest of us your secrets. Recipes are a basic start and you can always add personal touches that make it work for you..
Yes. I think the only way this recipe could work is if the chops were already partly cooked. 350 for 30 minutes, especially with the moist ingredients and liquid on the recipe does seem to add up. Either cook time and temp need some alteration, or the chops should be cooked or at least browned first.
I’m thinking, too many pots and bowls. I have an aversion to dirtying too many dishes. Saute the veggies in a large pot, add the broth and cream of whatever. Pour over chops. In the same pot, heat up the broth and butter, stir in the dry dressing. No need to clean the pot in between! Let the dressing sit for 5 minutes, fluff with a fork and layer on top of the chops which have been covered by the veggie/sauce mixture. One pot, along with the casserole dish.
This is a great recipe, and the results are fantastic!
Good morning Joyce, thank you for commenting, making suggestions, and rating the recipe. Kim and I are glad you enjoyed the pork chops, in spite of the dishes. Have a lovely day 🙂
