Ingredients & Tools You'll Need

To make this Pork Chop and Potato Casserole, you’ll need some basic ingredients that you might already have on hand. Start with 4 to 6 thin-cut, boneless pork chops. I like to use Idaho potatoes for their creaminess, so grab 4 to 6 of those.

You’ll also need 2 to 3 small onions, diced, for that sweet and savory flavor.

Next, we can’t forget the cheese. I’m all about that gooey goodness, so I recommend 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. For the creamy base, grab a can of cream of celery soup and mix it with a can of water.

Don’t forget the mustard, butter, salt, and pepper to taste. You’ll also want a 9×13 baking dish to bring it all together.

How To Make It

This casserole is as easy as it gets. First, we’ll prepare our ingredients and get the oven ready. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit while you gather everything.

Preparation

Start by lightly greasing your 9×13 baking dish. Toss in the diced potatoes and onions, making sure to spread them out evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a separate bowl, mix the cream of celery soup with the water until smooth. Pour this creamy mixture over the potatoes and onions, ensuring everything is well-coated. Then, layer the shredded cheese on top-go heavy here; it’s all about that cheesy goodness.

Next, we’ll add the pork chops. Place them on top of the cheese layer, and don’t forget to sprinkle some salt and pepper on them as well. For a little kick, spread a thin layer of mustard on top of each chop.

Finally, finish with thin slices of butter spread across the top.

Cooking

Now it’s time to get this beauty in the oven. Cover your baking dish with foil and pop it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 45 minutes to an hour.

You’ll know it’s ready when the potatoes are tender, and the pork chops are cooked through. As it bakes, the smell will be heavenly, and you’ll see the cheese bubbling and browning beautifully. When you take it out, let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Trust me, that’s when the magic happens.

Serving & Variations

This casserole is a hit on its own, but there are plenty of ways to mix it up. You can add different veggies like green beans or corn for color and additional flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous, try swapping the cream of celery soup with cream of mushroom or chicken for a different twist.

A common consensus among home cooks is to pair this dish with a simple side salad or some crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. If you have leftovers, this casserole reheats beautifully, so don’t hesitate to make a big batch.

Wrapping Up

There you have it-Pork Chop and Potato Casserole that’s sure to become a staple in your kitchen. It’s easy, comforting, and packed with flavor that your family will love. Plus, it’s a great way to bring everyone to the table for a hearty meal.
