Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • For the Pork Chops:
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • For the Scalloped Potatoes:
  • 4 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • For the Gravy:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. 2. Season pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. 3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  4. 4. In the same skillet, melt butter for the gravy. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  5. 5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. 6. Layer half the sliced potatoes and onions in the baking dish. Sprinkle with half the cheese, salt, pepper, and thyme. Repeat with remaining potatoes, onions, and cheese.
  7. 7. Pour melted butter, heavy cream, and milk over the potatoes. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  8. 8. Remove foil, place pork chops on top, and pour gravy over everything. Bake uncovered for another 20-25 minutes until potatoes are tender and pork is cooked through.
  9. 9. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the pork chop seasoning. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
