🧂 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Pork loin chops | 6–8 (boneless or bone-in) |
| Russet potatoes | 6, peeled and sliced |
| Condensed cream of mushroom soup | 2 cans (10 oz each) |
| Evaporated milk | 1 can (12 oz) |
| Water | ¾ cup |
| Onion soup base (or 1 Lipton onion soup packet) | 3 tablespoons |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
| Optional: Crispy fried onions | As desired |
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Start by setting your oven to 325°F to get it ready while you prep the ingredients.
2. Prepare the Creamy Sauce
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, evaporated milk, water, onion soup base, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
3. Layer the Potatoes
Grease your casserole dish, then lay down an even layer of sliced russet potatoes—this will be the hearty base of your dish.
4. Add the Pork Chops
Place the pork chops directly on top of the potatoes. Whether you’re using boneless or bone-in, both work beautifully in this recipe.
5. Pour the Cream Sauce
Carefully pour the creamy mixture over the pork chops and potatoes, making sure everything is covered. For a bit of texture and flavor, sprinkle fried onions over the top if you like.
6. Bake Low and Slow
Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 2 to 2½ hours. For a golden, slightly crisp top, remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of baking.
7. Serve & Enjoy
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Then, scoop out generous portions and enjoy a warm, comforting plate of Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes.
