Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare Pork Chops: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
Coat with Bread Crumbs: In a shallow dish, place the seasoned bread crumbs. Coat each pork chop with the bread crumbs, pressing them onto the chops to adhere. Set aside.
Prepare the Stuffing Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté until they become tender, which should take about 5 minutes.
Mix Creamy Sauce: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Blend until the mixture achieves a smooth and thorough consistency.
Assemble the Casserole: Grease an oven-safe casserole dish with cooking spray or butter. Place the breaded pork chops at the bottom of the dish in a single layer.
Add Vegetables: Spread the sautéed onion, celery, and bell pepper mixture evenly over the pork chops.
Pour Creamy Sauce: Pour the creamy mayonnaise mixture over the vegetables and pork chops, ensuring even coverage.
Bake: Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
Uncover and Finish: After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown, and the pork chops are cooked through (they should have an internal temperature of 145°F or 63°C).
Serve: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, and enjoy your Brenda Gantt Pork Chop Casserole.
