Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 boneless pork chops
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 4 potatoes, thinly sliced
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Sear Pork Chops: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Mix Soup Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
- Arrange Vegetables: Layer the thinly sliced potatoes and chopped onions evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Assemble Casserole: Place the seared pork chops over the potatoes and onions, then pour the soup and milk mixture evenly over the entire dish.
- Bake First Stage: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to allow the potatoes to soften and flavors to meld.
- Add Cheese and Finish Baking: Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole and bake for an additional 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pork is cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting pork chop and potato casserole!
Notes
- For extra flavor, season the pork chops with salt and pepper before searing.
- You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or cream of chicken soup for variation.
- Make sure potatoes are sliced thinly for even cooking.
- If you prefer, add garlic or herbs like thyme or rosemary to the soup mixture for added depth.
- Use a non-stick or well-oiled skillet to prevent pork chops from sticking during searing.
- Let the casserole rest 5-10 minutes before serving for easier slicing and better flavor melding.
