Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 thick cut pork chops
  • 8 oz* mushrooms rinsed and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons* plant butter for browning pork chops
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup condensed soup, approximately 10.5 oz (editorial package-size estimate)
  • 1 can water using the empty soup can
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix approximately 1 oz (editorial package-size estimate)
  • 1 bunch* asparagus trim tough ends; approximately 1 lb (editorial estimate)
  • 1 tablespoon* plant butter for cooking asparagus
  • 1/2 teaspoon* lemon pepper seasoning for asparagus

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Set out a dish fitting three thick-cut pork chops in one layer, such as a 9x13-inch dish. Rinse, dry and chop mushrooms.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons plant butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chops about 3-4 minutes per side; transfer to baking dish, still partially cooked.
  3. Mix condensed cream of mushroom soup, one soup-can of water, chopped mushrooms and dry onion soup mix; pour over chops.
  4. Bake at 350°F. Samantha estimates 60-90 minutes; timing depends on chop thickness and pan. Editorial check: start measuring after 30 minutes; remove chops once thickest centers reach at least 145°F away from bone. Do not bake the full stated time if already done. Loosely cover with foil if gravy reduces too much.
  5. Near baking's end, melt remaining 1 tablespoon plant butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook trimmed asparagus about 5-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp. Sprinkle with lemon pepper.
  6. Rest chops at least 3 minutes before serving with mushroom gravy and asparagus.

Editorial clarifications: package-size estimates, suggested pan, skillet heat, asparagus method and thermometer/rest guidance were added to make the card usable on its own. These details were not quoted from Samantha's video. The existing starred amounts and displayed time/serving estimates are retained.
Equipment: large skillet, baking dish that holds the chops in one layer, instant-read thermometer. The source baking range is 60-90 minutes; doneness may occur earlier and should be checked rather than inferred from time. No additional kitchen testing is claimed.
