Description
A recipe for tender pork chops baked with creamy scalloped potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups thinly sliced potatoes (about 4 medium)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion until soft, about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
- Place the seared pork chops over the layer of potatoes.
- Layer the remaining potatoes over the pork chops.
- Pour the soup mixture evenly over the potatoes and pork chops.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 1 hour.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture in the scalloped potatoes.
- If you prefer, you can use boneless pork chops, but adjust the cooking time slightly.
