Why This is The Best Pork Chops in Creamed Corn
These baked pork chops smothered in creamed corn are my version of one my mom used to make. As a child, I loved this dish! Mom's version was true homestyle, comfort food.
Her original recipe was simply seared pork chops baked in canned creamed corn. Although I loved her version, my palate has changed with time. Now, I crave a little more seasoning oomph... and Italian herbs are a perfect choice.
I start this recipe by seasoning both sides of the pork chops with seasoned salt, black pepper, and a generous amount of Italian herb mix. The pork chops are quickly seared to lock in moistness and added to a casserole dish filled with a hearty mixture of creamed corn and whole kernel corn.
Sprigs of rosemary are added to boost the Italian herbal profile and are a great complement to the sweetness of the corn.
This easy-to-make, oven-baked main dish is so comforting and so simple that you will want to add it to your rotation of favorite weeknight dinners! It has only 8 ingredients and 7 easy steps, which is another reason why this is one of my all-time favorite dishes to make... as well as to eat!
So, let's cook!
Ingredient Notes
- 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 the loin cut of pork chops, but any cut will work for this recipe.
- 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 smoking point, which makes it perfect for quickly searing meats.
- Fresh Rosemary - Rosemary has a strong aroma best described as a blend of juniper, Christmas tree, and mint. The taste is distinctly astringent and bitter. This herb is commonly used in Mediterranean cuisines.

How to Make Pork Chops in Creamed Corn
Step One - Preheat oven to 375°F/191°C.
Step Two - In a medium sized bowl mix together the cream style corn and the thawed sweet corn kernels. Set aside for later.
Step Three - Dry the pork chops completely and season both sides of the chops with the seasoned salt, fresh ground pepper, and Italian herb seasoning.
Step Four - Heat the safflower oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the seasoned pork chops two at a time to the skillet and fry them on each side until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the browned chops to a plate. Repeat with the remaining two chops.
Step Five - 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 Six- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour, or until the chops are tender and the creamed corn is hot and bubbling.
Step Seven - Remove the dish from the oven, garnish with additional fresh sprigs of rosemary. Serve & Enjoy!

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

Jan Nunes says
