Step 5: Add the Creamy Mixture
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops and potatoes, making sure everything is coated. If you like extra crunch, sprinkle crispy fried onions over the top before baking.
Step 6: Bake Slowly to Perfection
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. This slow baking process allows the potatoes to soak up the creamy sauce while the pork chops stay juicy and tender. For the last 30 minutes, remove the foil to let the top turn golden and slightly crisp.
Step 7: Rest and Serve
Once baked, let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This short wait allows the sauce to thicken slightly, making it easier to serve neat portions.
Tips for Success
- Choose the right pork chops: Boneless chops are convenient, but bone-in pork chops often have more flavor.
- Slice potatoes evenly: Using a mandoline or sharp knife helps keep the slices uniform, which ensures even cooking.
- Make it ahead: You can assemble the dish a day in advance, refrigerate it, and bake it when you’re ready. Just add an extra 10–15 minutes to the bake time if starting from cold.
- Add vegetables: For variety, layer in thinly sliced carrots, mushrooms, or even green beans between the potatoes and pork chops.
Perfect Pairings
This hearty family dinner casserole is satisfying on its own, but you can make it even more special by serving it with:
- Steamed green beans or broccoli for a pop of color and freshness
- A crisp garden salad with vinaigrette to balance the richness
- Warm dinner rolls or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce
