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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Sear Pork Chops: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the pork chops in the hot oil and sear them until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side, to lock in flavor.
- Mix Soup and Milk: In a medium bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup and milk, stirring until smooth to create the creamy sauce.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Arrange the thinly sliced potatoes and chopped onions evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish as the base layer.
- Assemble Casserole: Place the browned pork chops evenly over the potatoes and onions, then pour the soup and milk mixture evenly over everything in the dish.
- Bake First Phase: Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to allow the potatoes to cook and flavors to meld.
- Add Cheese and Finish Baking: Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly on top, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pork is fully cooked.
- Serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this hearty and comforting meal!
Notes
- For extra flavor, season the pork chops with salt and pepper before searing.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or a cheese blend for a different taste.
- Using Yukon Gold potatoes can add a creamier texture to the casserole.
- To make the dish gluten-free, ensure the cream of mushroom soup is gluten-free or use a homemade version.
- If you prefer, you can add herbs like thyme or rosemary for more aroma.
