Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon thyme leaves
• 3 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper. Dredge each pork chop lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, sour cream, and thyme leaves. Mix well to combine and let it heat through for 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 6

Layer the thinly sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Pour half of the soup mixture over the potatoes, spreading evenly.

Step 7

Place the seared pork chops on top of the potatoes, then pour the remaining soup mixture over the pork chops.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return the casserole to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
