About This Recipe
These baked pork chops smothered in creamed corn are my version of one my mom used to make. As a child, I loved this true homestyle comfort food.
Mom's original recipe was simply seared pork chops baked in canned creamed corn. Although I still love her version, my palate has changed with time. Now I crave a little more seasoning oomph, and Italian herbs are the perfect addition.
I pat the pork chops dry, season them generously, and quickly brown them to develop savory flavor. Then I layer them with cream-style corn, whole corn kernels, and fresh rosemary before baking everything together.
With a short list of familiar ingredients and six easy steps, this comforting dish is still one of my favorites to make... as well as to eat!

Ingredient Notes
Here's everything you'll need to make Oven Baked Pork Chops in Creamed Corn. Please see the recipe card for the exact quantities.
- Cream Style Sweet Corn - Also called creamed corn, cream style sweet corn is sold in cans and contains kernels of sweet corn in a creamy, corn sauce. Alternatively, you can make your own creamed corn from scratch.
- Sweet Corn Kernels - Either fresh or frozen kernels of sweet corn are good in this recipe. If in season, fresh corn kernels cut from the cob are always better than frozen. But frozen does not require cutting the kernels from the cob and is always available year-round.
- Pork Loin Chops - I prefer bone-in, center-cut pork loin chops about ½ inch thick. Other cuts may be used, but their thickness and whether they contain a bone will affect the baking time.
- Seasoned Salt - Seasoned salt is a blend of salt, spices, herbs, aromatics, and sometimes sugar. A typical blend will contain table salt, turmeric, ground celery seed, paprika, onion, and garlic.
- Black Pepper - Black pepper, or peppercorns, have a spicy, fruity, slightly pungent, and flowery aroma. Whenever possible use freshly ground black pepper. It will be more complex in flavor, more flowery and less spicy.
- Italian Herb Seasoning - Italian Herb Seasoning generally contains the following herbs: oregano, basil, thyme, marjoram, and rosemary. Select an Italian Herb blend that only contains herbs and does not include salt, pepper, garlic, or onion.
- Safflower Oil - Safflower oil is a neutral flavored oil with a high smoke point, which makes it perfect for quickly searing meats.
- Fresh Rosemary - Rosemary has a strong, woodsy fragrance with notes of pine and mint. Its savory flavor complements both pork and the sweetness of the corn. You will need 3 or 4 fresh rosemary sprigs, plus more for the garnish.
How to Make Oven Baked Pork Chops in Creamed Corn
♡ So, let's cook!
- Step 1 - Preheat and Prepare. Preheat oven to 375°F/191°C. Spray a 13 x 9" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Step 2 - Mix Corn. In a medium-sized bowl mix together the cream style corn and the thawed sweet corn kernels. Set aside for later.
- Step 3 - Dry and Season Pork Chops. Dry the pork chops completely and season both sides of the chops with the seasoned salt, freshly ground pepper, and Italian herb seasoning.
- Step 4 - Brown the Pork Chops. Heat the safflower oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned pork chops and fry them on each side until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the browned chops to a plate.
- Step 5 - Layer Corn and Pork Chops. Spoon ⅔ of the corn mixture into a 13 x 9" baking dish. Layer the browned pork chops on top of the corn mixture and spoon the remaining corn mixture on top of the pork chops. Tuck sprigs of rosemary around the chops.
- Step 6 - Bake, Garnish, and Serve. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour, or until the creamed corn is hot and bubbling and the pork chops register at least 145°F in the center. Remove the dish from the oven and let the chops rest for 3 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh sprigs of rosemary. Serve & enjoy!
My Top Tip
♡ Pat the pork chops completely dry before seasoning. Surface moisture creates steam and prevents the chops from browning properly.
Storage & Reheating Instructions
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight, sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
- Reheating: Gently reheat in a skillet with a small amount of water over medium heat, or in the microwave in a microwave-safe container until heated through.

Great recipe! But an hour to cook pork chops is wayyyy too long. They need 20 minutes give or take. Besides that great recipe, great idea
Don Mims says
Jan,
Used the pork chop and cream corn recipe and it was AWESOME! I tried putting spices on just one side of two chops and both sides of the other two it just looked like way to much.
I will trust your judgement moving forward both sides being seasoned made a big difference.
Great recipe my wife loved it.
Thank You,
Don Philip Mims
Jan Nunes says
Hi Don,
I'm so glad you and your wife enjoyed this recipe! Seasoning is such a subjective variable in a recipe and sometimes you do need to experiment a little to be sure it is what you want. You did absolutely the same thing I would have done! That being said I'm glad you agree with me on seasoning both sides of the chops. These small things make such a big difference in cooking. 😉
Welcome to Encharted Cook!
Kindest Regards, Jan
Mrs Wright says

Jan Nunes says
Thank you Mrs. Wright! You have some great suggestions for alternate cuts of pork chops!
