Description
A comforting dish featuring 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 (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove chops and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook 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 the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the seared pork chops over the potatoes. Top the pork chops with the remaining potatoes.
- 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 shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For quicker cooking, use boneless, thinner pork chops, but adjust the initial searing time.
- You can substitute cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom soup if preferred.
