Make dinner in less than 30 minutes with this One Skillet Pork Chop Dinner made with potatoes, carrots, and onions in a tasty sauce.
Today we are sharing vintage recipes. While I usually have a ton of great recipes pinned for all types of events this one had me stumped. It’s not that I didn’t have any vintage recipes to make, it was that I didn’t want to make any of the vintage ones I had pinned.
I looked to Taste of Home vintage recipes and found one for a One Skillet Pork Chop Dinner. Since I’ve been struggling with getting dinner on the table during the week this one sounded perfect for me. It combines pork chops, red skinned potatoes, vegetables, and cream of mushroom soup into a one pot meal.
This recipe is originally from the 50’s. I’m not one to use “cream of” soups but in this case I made an exception. When I told my husband what we were having for dinner he wasn’t thrilled. He isn’t real fond of meals where all of the foods have the same flavor. Like me, he also isn’t big on cream of soups.
The recipe itself is really simple. Pork chops are browned in a skillet with butter then the veggies are added and sauteed. After that the cream of mushroom soup is added in and everything simmers together for 20-30 minutes or until it’s cooked through.
I added in a packet of ranch dressing seasoning because I knew the soup wasn’t going to be enough flavor for us and it was the perfect addition. It really added in a punch of flavor that put this meal on the level of what we normally eat for dinner.
My husband said he was pleasantly surprised by this dish and ended up liking it. I served it over top of rice because I knew the gravy would be really tasty with it. Some people might think rice is overkill with it already having potatoes in it but we both agreed it helped to make this a cohesive dish.
Pro Tips and Substitutions:
- Feel free to add in different vegetables like celery, green beans, or asparagus.
- If you don’t like mushrooms you can use cream of chicken or cream of celery soup in place.
- While I use boneless pork chops you can certainly use bone in pork chops.

That looks super creamy and delicious! We usually have all those ingredients on hand. Good to know I can throw together a quick dinner that’s yummy!
This looks delicious! Love that it’s one skillet too! Looks like I need to buy some cream of mushroom soup!
Love the ranch dressing addition – cream soups definitely have their uses, and we grew up with pork chops in cream of mushroom “sauce” – it feels like comfort food to me!
I love skillet meals and if they are done in under 30 minutes, it’s a bonus. This chops dinner looks so creamy and good.
My husband is the same way. I made a campfire dish with cream of mushroom soup and he loved it.
My mother used to bake pork chops in cream of mushroom soup with extra onions and serve it over rice. Takes me back!
It’s hard to make a vintage dish without turning to that can of cream soup. It was all the rage back then.
