Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1 large onion
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into rounds about 1/8 inch thick. Peel and thinly slice the onion.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup and milk until well combined.

Step 6

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the dish, followed by half of the sliced onions. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Pour half of the soup mixture over the potato layer, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining potatoes, onions, and soup mixture.

Step 9

Nestle the seared pork chops on top of the potatoes and onions, pressing them lightly into the casserole.

Step 10

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top (if using). Return to the oven uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is hot throughout.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (optional) and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy this comforting dish with your favorite side salad or steamed vegetables.
