A hearty casserole combining tender pork chops with creamy potato layers, perfect for comforting family dinners and flavorful gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sliced potatoes, sour cream, water, parsley, cream of mushroom soup, salt, pepper, and seasonings in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch Pyrex dish.
- Lay fried pork chops on top of the potato mixture.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider seasoning the pork chops with garlic powder or smoked paprika before frying. You can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option. If you're short on time, pre-cooked or frozen potatoes can work as a shortcut. This recipe can also be customized by adding vegetables like green beans or carrots, similar to what's found in 'Savory Ham And Potato Bake'.
Serving Suggestions
This casserole is hearty enough to be a standalone dish but pairs well with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. A crusty bread or garlic bread can also complement the creamy potatoes. For a delightful twist, serve with a side of applesauce, as it pairs beautifully with many pork recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the casserole in an oven set to 350°F until warmed through, about 20-30 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions, covering them to retain moisture, for about 2-3 minutes.
