Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 5 potatoes white or Yukon Gold
- 5 pork chops
- 1 onion sliced or diced
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 cups Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chives or green onions, a sprinkle of seasoning salt, and a pinch of garlic salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a baking dish.
- Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, about ¼-inch thick. Slice or dice the onion.
- Shred the Cheddar cheese, preferably from a block for the best texture.
- In a large bowl, mix the potatoes, onions, cheese, milk, and seasonings until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and dot with butter.
- Arrange the pork chops on top of the potato mixture.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through.
- Check that the pork is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. If needed, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, covering with foil to prevent the pork from drying out.
Notes
- Use a mandoline or sharp knife to ensure even potato slices.
- Grate the cheese yourself for a smoother, creamier texture.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
