Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 6 pork chops (boneless or bone-in)
Starches and Vegetables:
- 4 potatoes (peeled and sliced)
- ¼ cup onion seasoning mix
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 can cream of onion soup
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 centimeter) baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Liberally season the pork chops with salt and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring even coverage on both sides.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the seasoned pork chops for approximately 3 minutes per side until they develop a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Create an even layer of sliced potatoes across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, forming a uniform base for the pork chops.
- Carefully place the browned pork chops directly on top of the potato layer, arranging them in a single, neat row.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream of onion soup, dehydrated onion mix, and whole milk until you achieve a smooth, well-integrated sauce.
- Gently pour the creamy mixture over the pork chops and potatoes, ensuring complete and even coverage to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Securely cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, creating a tight seal to trap steam and prevent excessive moisture loss.
- Transfer the covered dish to the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the potatoes to become tender.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes to develop a golden, slightly crispy top layer.
- Once cooking is complete, remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Serve warm, accompanied by your favorite complementary side dishes.
