Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Scalloped Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Layer the sliced potatoes evenly in the dish. Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, ensuring they’re fully covered.
- Dot the top with butter and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 40 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
2️⃣ Cook the Pork Chops
- While the potatoes are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the pork chops with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Brown the pork chops on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth and worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
3️⃣ Assemble the Casserole
- Once the potatoes are done baking, place the browned pork chops on top of the potatoes.
- Pour the onion and broth mixture over the pork chops.
- Cover the dish with foil again and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked through (internal temperature should be 145°F/63°C).
4️⃣ Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve with your favorite vegetables or a fresh side salad!
Tips for Success
- Thinly slice the potatoes to ensure they cook evenly and absorb the creamy sauce.
- If you want extra cheesy goodness, sprinkle some extra cheddar cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- For a crispy finish, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes after baking.
