Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Flour
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Finely slice the onion into rings.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Season the pork chops with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the roux, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic powder, the remaining salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat.
Layer half of the potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, followed by half of the onions. Pour half of the creamy sauce over the layer and sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Repeat the layering with the remaining potatoes, onions, and sauce. Reserve 1/2 cup of shredded cheese for topping later.
Place the seared pork chops on top of the casserole, gently pressing them into the dish.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
