Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Trim any excess fat from the pork chops and set them aside.
3
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Dredge each pork chop in the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
4
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned. Once browned, remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
5
In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, sour cream, and crushed rosemary until smooth. Stir in half of the French-fried onions to incorporate them into the mixture.
6
Spread the creamy soup mixture evenly in an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish. Lay the browned pork chops on top of the sauce.
7
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining French-fried onions over the top, and continue to bake uncovered for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the pork juices run clear.
8
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot over a bed of buttery egg noodles.
