4 pieces pork chops
1 cup sliced onions
2 cups sliced potatoes
1 cup milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a large baking dish with some butter or oil.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent.
- Add the flour to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for about two minutes until the flour is lightly browned.
- Slowly add the chicken broth and milk, continuing to stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
- Layer the sliced potatoes in the greased baking dish, followed by half of the sauce, ensuring all potato slices are coated.
- Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then place them on top of the potato layer.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the pork chops, covering them fully, and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
