Oven Baked Pork Chops covered in brown sugar and garlic on a sheet pan with yukon potatoes. One pan, almost no cleanup and the whole family will love them.
Brown Sugar Garlic Oven Baked Pork Chops are the answer to about 500 emails from you guys asking for pork chop versions of these two recipes: Brown Sugar Garlic Pork with Carrots & Potatoes and Slow Cooker Bacon Garlic Pork Loin.
You guys have LOVED those recipe and have always asked “can I do this recipe with pork chops?” Unfortunately, no, I always said “nope, sorry.”
Today I have an even EASIER version if that is even possible. Sheet Pan Brown Sugar Garlic Pork Chops WITH a side of potatoes like my original recipe. I was going to add carrots too, but with the heat I was a bit worried they’d scorch.
Recipe alert (and actual exact one coming soon!): You had all been asking about baked pork chops with cream of mushroom soup. THIS is the final piece of that recipe served with Cream of Mushroom Soup (Condensed).
How to make Baked Pork Chops with Cream of Mushroom Soup:
- In a baking pan, add the chops and roast for half the time.
- Cover with my Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe, finish baking in the oven and serve.
- Even better, you can leave the mushrooms a larger size for a better, more luxurious feeling meal.
But really, I’ve been on this brown sugar garlic kick for a while now. The pork was originally posted in my second month of blogging and just yesterday I had a Bacon Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken that we’ve still been dreaming about.
Psst, I also have a Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken you NEED to try, it is fall apart tender, sticky, garlicky and amazing.
MY OTHER RECIPES
How long do you cook pork chops in the oven?
I bake my oven baked pork chops at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145-150 degrees. I usually turn off the oven and leave the oven door open about 30% to let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
How long do you cook bone in pork chops in the oven?
Cooking with meat that is bone-in takes roughly 10-15% more cooking time. This recipe calls for bone-in chops so I’d say if they are boneless you can possibly cook them for 30-32 minutes.
How do you cook pork loin chops in the oven?
Pork Loin chops (like in this recipe) are primarily “white meat” of the pig. Meaning less fat than the darker meat you’d find in shoulder chops or country style ribs. This means you need to keep a close eye to make sure it doesn’t dry out. The “dark meat” chops you can normally find less expensively at the store can handle a longer cooking time or braising.

Tools Used in the making of Brown Sugar Garlic Oven Baked Pork Chops:
Sheet Pan: A classic, inexpensive sheet pan that is high quality and can hold up to high temperatures in the oven. If you’d prefer you could also use…
Cast Iron Skillet: This is my most used pan in my kitchen, heavy, keeps heat well and gives the BEST sear ever.

Doesn’t get any better than brown sugar and garlic!
I know, right?!
I often think pork chops are boring. This is the solution to that problem!
Mm these pork chops look amazing!
Thanks Delaney!
Those look like perfection – and now I’m ready to sit down to a serving of it!
Sounds like a smart decision 😉
These look fantastic! Such a delicious fall meal!
Thanks Abeer!
Loving baking meat instead of on the cook top. My family would love for me to make them this so maybe I will over the wknd.
I am anxious to make this recipe because the picture looks so delicious. I’m confused by step 5 however when it says to add the rest of the topping over the pork chops, it seems to me that all of the ingredients have been used by that step. What needs to be added then? Also, does the pan get covered with foil at all or does it get baked uncovered for the entire time? Thank you again for all of your recipes!
Thank you so much! For step 5, I just meant that once you place the pork chops on the sheet pan you’ll want to cover them with any additional topping that might be left over in the bowl. Also, the pork chops get baked uncovered. Hopefully this clears up any confusion. I hope you enjoy it!
A sure way to get the kids to eat their pork chops!!
It’s definitely a good way to encourage it!
What kind of brown sugar did you use? Also the ingredients for pork chops can I use it for turkey chops that are boneless and do you put the brown sugar on the potatoes as well?
So sorry about that! I used light brown sugar for this recipe. Actually, I use light brown sugar so much that I only specify as dark brown sugar when using the other. If the recipe calls for brown sugar, it’ll be light brown sugar that was used. Hope this clears up any confusion. Also, boneless turkey chops would be a great substitution but would only need to be cooked for 30-32 minutes. And lastly, no brown sugar on the potatoes, just oil, salt and pepper. Hope all of this helps!
These look delicious i cant wait to try this tonight!
Wondering how the golden brown color is achieved on the chops? No need to sear first?
Thanks!
Nope, no need to sear it first. The beautiful color is all from the oven.
Thank You for the recipe. I made these for dinner tonight with cornbread dressing and roasted asparagus. My family loved it! We will include this meal as one of our traditions.
Fantastic!
You list tools used to make these as sheet pan and cast iron skillet. Are you browning the chops first in skillet? Or is this just an error?
Sorry for the confusion. Sometimes I do make this in the skillet so I wanted to show which one I use in case anyone wanted a suggestion. There is no need to sear or brown the chops before placing them in the oven.
Just made this for dinner! Lowered the sodium for my needs and added onions to the potatoes, was so good so simple. I posted it on my Instagram and #’d your IG on it and the recipe… TY for the amazing inspiration! #lowsodiumfoodieibe
Thank you so much for all the love! So glad you enjoyed it and were able to adjust it as needed!!
I have to eat Low sodium so finding things that I can cut the salt and still have such amazing flavor is a huge blessing! I am going to be checking out some of your other recipes also.
Great recipe! My husband and I love the taste! My husband had only one complent, not enough potatoes, so I’m making it with more potatoes today. I was wondering whether can all the ingredients for the pork chops be put together then put on the pork chops?
Sure 🙂
This is the only reason I’ll eat a pork loin. Ha. Ha. (Not much of a pork eater, but this changes the game plan.) Seriously, so easy, so much flavor, and so many compliments from dinner guests! They all thought I’d been preparing this sumptuous meal for a long time. Lined the pan with foil so a bowl and a pan were all there was to clean up. Bonus points! 🙂 Thank you!
So glad the meal was a hit! I’m definitely going to try to win you over to team pork loin! ?
