Rich and Comforting: The cream of onion soup and mashed onion mix create a luscious, savory sauce that keeps the pork chops juicy and infuses the potatoes with flavor.

Perfect for All Occasions: Whether it’s a weekday dinner or a meal to impress guests, this dish fits the bill.

Key Ingredients:

Pork Chops: Boneless pork chops work best for even cooking, but bone-in adds more flavor. Keep in mind that bone-in chops may require an additional 5-10 minutes of cooking time.
Potatoes: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal for baking as they hold their shape and absorb flavors well. Slice them thinly to ensure even cooking.
Cream of Onion Soup: If you can’t find this specific soup, substitute with cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup for a slight variation.
Mashed Onion Mix: This ingredient adds an extra layer of oniony flavor. If you don’t have mashed onion mix on hand, finely chop and sauté a small onion until softened as a substitute.
Milk: Use whole milk for a richer sauce, or substitute with half-and-half for an even creamier texture.
Olive Oil: Adds flavor and prevents sticking when searing the pork chops and preparing the dish.

Instructions

Preheat Your Oven:

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures it’s at the right temperature when you start baking.
Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Prepare and Sear the Pork Chops:

Season the Pork Chops: Generously season each pork chop with salt and black pepper.
Sear the Pork Chops: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned. This step enhances flavor and locks in moisture.

Prepare the Potato Layer:

Peel and Slice the Potatoes: Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds to ensure even cooking.
Arrange in Baking Dish: Spread the sliced potatoes evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Assemble the Dish:

Place Pork Chops: Lay the seared pork chops on top of the sliced potatoes so the pork juices seep into the potatoes as they cook.
Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 can of cream of onion soup, mashed onion mix, and 1 cup of milk. Mix until smooth.
Pour the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the pork chops and potatoes.

Drink Pairing: Complement the flavors with a glass of light white wine, such as Pinot Grigio, or an apple cider for a family-friendly option.

Storage/Meal Prep Tips:

Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) or in the microwave until warmed through.
Freezing: This dish can be frozen, but the potatoes may change texture slightly upon thawing. To freeze, let the dish cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Make Ahead: Assemble the dish up to the point of baking, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, remove from the fridge, bring to room temperature, and bake as directed.

Variations:

Add Vegetables: Layer in vegetables like sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or thinly sliced onions along with the potatoes for added flavor and nutrition.
Cheesy Twist: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking for a cheesy crust.
Herb Infusion: Add a sprinkle of dried herbs like thyme, parsley, or rosemary to the sauce for extra depth.
Smoky Flavor: For a different taste, replace half of the olive oil with bacon grease when searing the pork chops and add chopped cooked bacon to the sauce.
Cream Swap: Use sour cream or Greek yogurt mixed with the soup and milk for a tangier, richer sauce.
