Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 2.5 hours
• Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes
• Servings: 6-8

Ingredients

• 6-8 pork loin chops (can be boneless or bone-in)
• 6 peeled and sliced russet potatoes
• 2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup (10 ounces each)
• 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounces)
• 3/4 cup water
• 3 tablespoons onion soup base (or 1 packet of Lipton onion soup)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Fried onions for topping

Instructions

Peheat oven to 325°F (163°C). This ensures that your casserole cooks evenly and thoroughly.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, evaporated milk, water, onion soup base, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This creamy mixture will be the base of your sauce, adding rich flavor and texture to the dish.

Grease a large casserole dish to prevent sticking. Arrange the sliced potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of the dish. The potatoes will absorb the flavors of the sauce and become tender during baking.

Place the pork chops on top of the layered potatoes. Make sure the chops are evenly spaced to ensure even cooking. The pork chops will cook to perfection as they simmer in the creamy sauce.

Pour the prepared creamy mixture evenly over the potatoes and pork chops. This will create a luscious sauce that infuses the dish with flavor. If you’re using fried onions, sprinkle them on top for an extra layer of crunch and flavor.

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 to 2.5 hours. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your pork chops and potatoes. For the last 30 minutes, remove the foil to allow the top to brown and become slightly crispy.

Once the dish is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and make serving easier. Enjoy this hearty meal with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad
