Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups, shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small, diced onion
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) parsley
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Spray the crock pot insert with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Wash, peel, and slice the potatoes into thin rounds. Place them in a bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a creamy sauce.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom of the crock pot. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the diced onion over the potatoes. Pour half of the creamy sauce mixture on top.
Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cheese, onion, and creamy sauce to create a second layer.
Season both sides of the pork chops with additional salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the unsalted butter.
Sear the pork chops in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. This step enhances flavor but is optional.
Place the seared pork chops on top of the potato and cheese layers in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on LOW heat for 6-7 hours or on HIGH heat for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the pork chops are fully cooked.
Once done, carefully remove the lid and sprinkle more shredded cheddar cheese on top (optional). Let it melt for about 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
