Ingredients:
-
5 potatoes, white or Yukon Gold
-
5 pork chops
-
1 onion sliced or diced
-
1 cup whole milk
-
3 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded
-
3 tbsp butter, unsalted
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Optional: I add chives or green onions, a sprinkle of seasoning salt and a pinch of garlic salt to boost the bland flavor
Instructions:
-
Peel and slice the potatoes, no more than ¼ inch each slice
-
Peel and quarter the onion, split each quarter in half
-
Use a block of Cheddar Cheese, shred it freshly
-
Preheat the oven to 350*
-
Spray a baking dish
-
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onions, cheese and the milk, I also add in the seasonings at this time
-
Mix all together to combine well
-
Put this mix into the prepared baking pan
-
Slice the butter into equal slices and lay on top of the potato mix
-
Place the pork chops on top of the cheese and potato mixture
-
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes at 350*
-
Halfway through the cooking time, flip the pork chops over
-
Check the pork to ensure it is no longer pink, if it is, continue baking for another 15 minutes.
-
Stab the potatoes with a fork to check for tenderness. If they also need longer, cover the baking pan with aluminum foil to prevent the meat from drying out.
