Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 6 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- In a skillet, sear pork chops over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions and garlic until soft.

- Place seared pork chops on top and sprinkle with thyme.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the pork chops are fully cooked.
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra richness, add 1/4 cup heavy cream to the cheese sauce.
- Use bone-in pork chops for more flavor, but boneless works well too.
- Top with parsley or chives for added freshness.
