The pork chops and scalloped potatoes cook all in one casserole! Excellent family meal that will please all.
Cut Your Own Pork Chops!
Whole pork loins were on sale last week and I never turn down sales on this! Boneless loins are versatile and whatsmore, you can cut it any way you wish.
What I choose to do with it more often than not is to cut it in half and reserve the loin end for braising or roasting, then cut the remainder up as chops or steak.
This casserole is made with the portion I cut as chops. Since I wanted to make something different than the usual baked and breaded chops, I searched for a good all-in-one recipe.
Jazz Up The Original
I came across the original recipe on AllRecipes. It was pretty basic and most people raved about how good it was.
The recipe is good, it’s a bit basic and on the bland side, so it lends itself to being jazzed up a bit. The next time I make it, I am going to replace part of the milk with evaporated milk because the potatoes were a bit too watery for my taste, but they still tasted fine. I’m just used to scalloped potatoes with a creamier sauce. A little Parmesan cheese mixed with the milk would be a nice addition too. Just make sure to use a mandoline to slice the potatoes–they need to be ultra thin to cook in the allotted time.
Overall, I found this quite pleasant, and where it may not have flavors that come out and kick your butt, it’s quite a nice comfort dinner and one that kids would probably like a lot.

We love Pork Chops, so I try to serve them every couple of weeks (or so). I have several ways which I prepare them, but I’ll definitely try this one – especially since I’ve been promising my family that I’ll make Scalloped Potatoes sometime very soon. How nice that it’s all in one pan, and sounds so very easy to prepare. Your recipes are always a huge hit on our dinner table!
Pork chops is one of my favorite things to eat too!! The potatoes do come out a bit watery–which is ok and they taste fine–but you might want to check out the scalloped potato recipe I link to in that post. There, the sauce is very creamy and doesn’t get watery so if you wanted to, you could make the sauce from that recipe–omitting the cheese if you want–and just substitute that for the soup mixture!
Good morning. This sounds and looks wonderful. Awesome recipe for Sunday dinner. My 11 x7 baking dish looks smaller than your dish in the picture. I do not think I can get 6 pork chops in mine. Thanks for sharing. Love your blog.
If you have a 13 x 9 that’d work too! Probably the potatoes would cook much faster, so check on doneness about 10 minutes before my stated cook time!
What can u use besides cream of mushroom
Cream of celery would work good here. So would cheddar cheese soup.
Just made this and it was soooo good. I added mushrooms and garlic to the onions when I sautéed then, but no other additions delicious just the way it is and super easy. Will definitely make again.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a beautiful dish! I love pork chops!
