Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into rounds. Peel and slice the carrots into thin discs. Dice the yellow onion.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Season the pork chops on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
Sear the pork chops in the skillet for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, whole milk, garlic powder, dried thyme, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Set aside.
Spread the sliced potatoes evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Layer the sliced carrots and diced onion on top of the potatoes.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the vegetables, ensuring everything is coated. Gently shake or tilt the casserole dish if needed.
Arrange the seared pork chops on top of the vegetables and soup mixture.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly and the liquid to reduce.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
