This Pork Chops and Scalloped Potatoes Casserole recipe have juicy and flavorful pork, nestled among soft and buttery scalloped potatoes.
PREPARATION TIME
PREP TIME:15 minutes
COOK TIME:1 hour 15 minutes
TOTAL TIME:1 hour 30 minutes
Ingredients
6 cups thinly sliced potatoes about 4 pounds
3 tablespoons butter plus additional for garnish (if desired)
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 to 8 boneless pork loin chops
Chopped parsley and ground paprika for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Place the potatoes into the prepared baking dish.
In a medium stockpot, melt the butter. Add the flour and seasonings to the melted butter and whisk until bubbly. Slowly add the chicken broth, whisking until combined. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring often. Reduce the heat and continue cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
Pour the sauce over the potatoes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, pour the oil. Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper. When the oil is hot, add the pork chops, searing on each side but not cooking completely through.
Transfer the seared pork chops to the casserole dish, placing them on top of the potatoes.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil tightly and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and check the potatoes for tenderness. Continue cooking, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
If desired, drop pats of butter on the pork chops and allow to melt. Garnish the casserole with parsley and paprika, if desired.
