Pork Chop and Green Bean Casserole

  • Prep 20 min
  • Total 1 hr 15 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 pork boneless loin or rib chops, about 3/4 inch thick (about 1 1/4 pounds)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups frozen cut green beans (from 1-pound bag), thawed
  • 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (4 ounces)
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pimientos
  • 1 can (2.8 ounces) French-fried onions

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°. Spray square baking dish, 8x8x2 inches, with cooking spray. Trim fat from pork if necessary. Sprinkle both sides of pork with salt and pepper.
  • 2
    Spray 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook pork in skillet about 10 minutes, turning once, until brown. Place in baking dish.
  • 3
    Mix remaining ingredients except onions in medium bowl. Spread over pork chops.
  • 4
    Bake uncovered about 50 minutes or until mixture is bubbly. Sprinkle onions over casserole. Bake uncovered 5 minutes.

  • Brown the pork chops before adding them to the casserole for added flavor—and a jump-start on the cooking.
  • The recipe calls for browning the pork chops without oil, for a leaner casserole. Cut the fat a little further by using reduced-fat soup and fat-free (skim) milk.
  • "Hiding" the pork chops under the rest of the ingredients during bake-time keeps them moist and juicy.
