Oven Baked Pork Chops and Potatoes

If you look up the definition of comfort food, you just might find a picture of this Oven Baked Pork Chops and Potatoes recipe. After all, what defines comfort better than tender pork chops smothered in creamy, cheesy potatoes? Serve this pork chop casserole with potatoes as is or with a light arugula and pear salad on the side.

This oven-baked pork chops with potatoes recipe is near and dear to my heart. I found a similar recipe in a 1992 Women's Circle Creative Cooking magazine, the same year I got married.

Back then, I knew very little about cooking. However, my cooking skills have come a long way since then. Although I have made many modifications to the recipe since then, it still remains one of my husband's favorites!

🥩 How to Make Pork Chops & Potato Casserole

Step 2: Add hash browns to the same pan, and brown on both sides.

Step 3: Mix cream of mushroom soup, milk, and sour cream. Add to a 9" X 13" glass casserole dish.

Step 5: Smooth out the potato mixture and cover with the pork chops. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 6: Remove the casserole dish from the oven. Carefully remove the foil. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup of French fried onions and ½ cup of shredded cheese.

Notes

• There are many variations of this pork chops and cheesy potatoes recipe online. Many use thinly sliced potatoes instead of hash browns. You can also shred fresh potatoes to make your own hashbrowns. I would recommend partially frying the potatoes before mixing them with the other ingredients.
• Instead of French Fried onions, you can use caramelized onions.
• Cream of chicken, broccoli, or asparagus can be used instead of cream of mushroom soup.
• If you want to be extra naughty, add some crumbled bacon in the hashbrown mix!
