Ingredients
  

  • 6 bone-in or boneless pork chops
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brown the pork chops in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Layer the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Top with the sautéed onions, then place the browned pork chops on top.
  • Pour the creamy soup mixture over the pork chops and potatoes. Spread it evenly to coat everything.
  • Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup if preferred.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle some dried thyme or rosemary over the pork chops before baking.
  • You can use russet potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes for this recipe. Thinly slicing them ensures they cook evenly.
  • To make this dish a bit lighter, substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream.
  • If you prefer boneless pork chops, just adjust the cooking time as needed since boneless pork chops cook faster.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • For extra crunch, add a layer of crushed breadcrumbs or French fried onions on top before baking the cheese.
