Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork chops
• 20 ounces frozen O'Brien potatoes (with peppers and onions)
• 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen O'Brien potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed.

Step 5

Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Arrange the seared pork chops on top of the potato mixture.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the pork chops and potatoes.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
