Tips & Substitutions
For a variation, consider using cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of celery. If you prefer a healthier option, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream. Ensure the pork chops are not overcrowded in the skillet to achieve a good sear. For added flavor, marinate the pork chops in your favorite spices or sauces prior to browning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh potatoes instead of frozen hash browns?
Yes, you can use fresh potatoes. Simply peel and shred them, then parboil for a few minutes until slightly tender before mixing with the other ingredients. This will help achieve the desired texture in the final dish.
What can I use instead of French fried onions?
If you don't have French fried onions, you can substitute with crushed potato chips or homemade crispy onions. Simply slice onions thinly, coat in flour, and fry until golden for a delicious alternative that adds a nice crunch.
How can I make this recipe spicier?
To add heat, incorporate some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the creamy mixture. Alternatively, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or paprika over the pork chops before baking to elevate the flavor profile with a spicy kick.
