Healthy Fact of the Day

Use low-fat milk and reduced-sodium broth to lighten the sauce. Swap some of the potatoes for thinly sliced zucchini or cauliflower for added fiber and nutrients.

This Smothered Pork Chop and Scalloped Potato Casserole is the ultimate comfort food combination, featuring tender pork chops nestled over creamy, layered scalloped potatoes in a rich, savory homemade sauce. The pork chops are perfectly seasoned and smothered in a luscious gravy that seeps into every layer of the potatoes below, creating a hearty, satisfying meal that’s pure comfort on a plate.

    Ingredients

    • 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.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
