Description
A comforting and hearty dish combining juicy pork chops and creamy, cheesy scalloped potatoes. Perfect for family gatherings or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 5 potatoes (white or Yukon Gold)
- 5 pork chops
- 1 onion (sliced or diced)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chives or green onions, seasoning salt, garlic salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a baking dish.
- Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Slice or dice the onion.
- Shred the Cheddar cheese.
- In a large bowl, mix the potatoes, onions, cheese, milk, and seasonings until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and dot with butter.
- Arrange the pork chops on top of the potato mixture.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through.
- Check that the pork is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. If needed, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, covering with foil to prevent the pork from drying out.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using freshly shredded cheese and adding herbs like thyme or rosemary. Cover the dish with foil if the top is browning too quickly during baking.
