PORK CHOP AND POTATO CASSEROLE, SMALL AND EASY

 I LIKE EASY RECIPES SO I LOOK FOR THEM ONLINE AND ON YOUTUBE AND TRY THEM OUT.  IF THEY WORK OUT FOR ME, I WILL POST THEM HERE ON MY BLOG.  THIS COMES FROM YOUTUBE'S 'AROUND THE HOUSE' CHANNEL.

PORK CHOP AND POTATO CASSEROLE

9X9 PAN   350-DEGREES    1 HOUR COOKING

INGREDIENTS:

2 BONELESS PORK CHOPS

2 LGE OR 3 MEDIUM RUSSET POTATOES

1 YELLOW ONION, CHOPPED

1 CLOVE GARLIC, MINCED

1 CAN CREAM OF CELERY SOUP (10.5 OZ)

1/2 CUP MILK

SALT AND PEPPER AND LEMON PEPPER TO TASTE

PROCEDURE:

PEEL AND WASH RUSSETS THEN CUT THEM 1/8TH TO 1/4- INCH WIDE (OR USE A MANDOLIN).   PLACE IN COLD WATER TIL READY TO USE.

IN SKILLET:  ADD 2 TABLESPOONS BUTTER TO PAN THEN BROWN 2 PORK CHOPS AFTER SEASONING BOTH SIDES WITH SALT, PEPPER, LEMON PEPPER.  WHEN BROWNED, REMOVE TO PLATE.

IN SAME USED SKILLET:  ADD 1 TABLESPOON VEG. OIL.  ADD YOUR POTATOES.  ADD SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE.  COOK THEM ON MED. HIGH TURNING THEM NOW AND THEN TO COOK THEM ON ALL SIDES, ABOUT 5-6 MINUTES.  REMOVE THE POTATOES TO A PLATE.

IN SAME SKILLET:  NOW ADD THE CHOPPED ONIONS TO CARMELIZE A BIT.  ADD MINCED GARLIC.  STIR TOGETHER.  COOK A MINUTE OR TWO MORE.  ADD YOUR SOUP AND MILK.  STIR TOGETHER AND COOK ANOTHER COUPLE MINS.

SPRAY A 9 BY 9 PAN (OR 8 BY 8).  I LINE MINE FIRST WITH ALUM. FOIL, THEN SPRAY.  EASIER CLEAN-UP.

POUR IN YOUR POTATOES EVENLY, THEN LAY CHOPS ON TOP.  POUR SOUP AND MILK MIXTURE EVENLY OVER IT ALL.  COVER WITH FOIL.  BAKE AT 350-DEGREES FOR 30 MINUTES.  REMOVE THE FOIL AND COOK ANOTHER 30 MINS. 

HERE ARE THE CHOPS BROWNED AND SET ASIDE.

HERE ARE THE POTATOES BROWNING IN THE SKILLET.

PREPARED TO GO IN THE OVEN.

A SERVING FOR DINNER.  WITH A SALAD ON THE SIDE, ITS A COMPLETE MEAL.  YOU CAN ALWAYS SERVE ANOTHER VEGGIE ON THE SIDE IF YOU LIKE.

FOR ME IT'S AN EASY MEAL.  ENOUGH FOR 2 SOLID MEALS PLUS SOME EXTRA POTATOES TO HAVE WITH POACHED EGGS FOR A BREAKFAST.

YOU CAN ALWAYS COOK MORE CHOPS AND POTATOES IN A 9 X 13 DISH TO SERVE MORE PEOPLE.

ENJOY.  I DID.
