Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 4 center thick-cut pork chops, bone-in
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- garlic powder, to taste
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (10.75-ounce) can cream of celery soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 (32-ounce) package frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2 –Preheat a large skillet over high heat and add the oil.
Step 3 –Season both sides of the pork chops with the salt, the pepper, and the garlic powder.
Step 4 –Add the pork chops to the hot skillet and, working in batches, brown on both sides until they are almost cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. They will finish cooking in the oven.
Step 5 –In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, the cream of celery soup, and the milk.
Step 6 –Stir the hash browns and the onion into the sour cream mixture.
Step 7 –Spread the hash brown-sour cream mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish and sprinkle it with the cheddar cheese.
Step 8 –Top the bake with the pork chops.
Step 9 –Bake, uncovered, until heated through and the pork chops are fully cooked, about 45-50 minutes. If the casserole starts to get too brown while cooking, cover it with aluminum foil.
Step 10 –Serve.
