Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 6 (4 ounce) pork loin chops
• 1 olive oil cooking spray
• 1 (26.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 medium sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), thinly sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Mist pork chops with olive oil cooking spray and season with garlic powder, paprika, and chili powder. Cook pork chops in the hot skillet, turning frequently, until lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a casserole or baking dish.

Step 3

Mix together condensed soup and tomatoes in a large bowl until well combined. Pour over pork chops and place onion slices on top. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until pork is tender, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a pork chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
