Smothered meat Chop Scalloped Potato Casserole

The Smothered meat Chop Scalloped Potato Casserole is a hearty and comforting dish that combines the savory richness of meat chops with the creamy, indulgent texture of scalloped potatoes. This casserole starts with a layer of thinly sliced potatoes, arranged in an overlapping fashion. These potatoes are seasoned with a blend of herbs such as thyme and rosemary, along with minced garlic, salt, and pepper, to infuse them with flavor.

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in meat chops, about 1-inch thick
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 pounds potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Set the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F). Use salt and pepper to season the meat chops. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Set aside the meat chops after browning them on both sides. Cook the garlic and onions in the same skillet until they are transparent. Stir for one minute after adding the flour to create a roux.

Add the chicken broth and milk gradually, stirring until the mixture thickens. Take off the heat. In a casserole dish, arrange half of the potatoes in layers. Place half of the cheese and sauce on top.

Continue with the remaining cheese, sauce, and potatoes. Add a little paprika. Top the layers with pork chops.

Bake, covered with foil, for one hour. Take off the cover and continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and meat are soft.

Before serving, let stand for ten minutes. Add parsley as a garnish. For a genuinely satisfying and delightful supper, serve this Smothered meat Chop Scalloped Potato Casserole with your favorite sides.
