PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES, ONIONS AND CHEESY BAKED POTATOES

Pork Chops With Apples, Onions and Cheesy Baked Potatoes image

A simple, cold-weather dinner for two in about 40-45 minutes from start to table. I often tend to make it up and experiment with my own version of what I cook. (hence my name) That was indeed the case with this yummy pork chop dinner. I think it's best served with fresh dinner bread or rolls. If you want to make this dinner for more than two just figure it this way : 1 apple, 1/2 onion, 1 potato, 1 pork chop per person. Use amounts of spices, cheese, oil and butter as necessary. Note* Using soft apples like McIntosh won't work well since they'll get too soft, too fast. You want to keep some substance to the onions and apples.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

8 potatoes (sliced)
1 onion (chopped)
6 slices cheddar cheese
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup (I use reduced fat)
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can milk
salt and pepper (to taste)
6 pork chops (browned)

Steps:

In a 1 1/2 quart buttered dish, place alternate layers of potatoes, onions,.
and cheese. Combine soup, milk and seasonings, pour over all (do not stir).
Top with browned pork chops, cover and bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours.

Tips:

For perfectly cooked pork chops, use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
To prevent the pork chops from drying out, marinate them for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices.
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork chops by cutting into the thickest part of the meat. The juices should run clear, with no pink in the center.
To make sure the cheesy potatoes are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the casserole. If it comes out clean, the potatoes are done.
For a crispy topping on the cheesy potatoes, sprinkle some bread crumbs or grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking.

Conclusion:

This hearty and flavorful meal of pork chops and cheesy potatoes is sure to please the whole family. The pork chops are tender and juicy, while the cheesy potatoes are creamy and delicious. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this dish at home. Serve it with a side of your favorite vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
