- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). |
| 2 | Sprinkle salt and pepper on the pork chops, then brown them in a skillet over medium heat. |
| 3 | Select an oven pan large enough to accommodate the number of chops and potatoes you’re preparing. |
| 4 | Spray the bottom of the pan with cooking spray (e.g., Pam) to prevent sticking. |
| 5 | Layer the potatoes evenly on the bottom of the pan and sprinkle them with the garlic powder for added flavor. |
| 6 | If you’re using mushrooms, place them on top of the potatoes. |
| 7 | In a separate bowl, mix the mushroom soup, evaporated milk, and additional seasonings to create a creamy sauce. |
| 8 | Pour the sauce evenly over the pork chops and potatoes in the pan. |
| 9 | Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil to seal in the flavors and moisture during baking. |
| 10 | Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour if you’re cooking 6 chops, or 45 minutes if you’re preparing 2 chops. |
| 11 | Check for tenderness; the pork chops and potatoes should be fork-tender when done. |
Tips for Success:

- For a healthier option, consider substituting regular potatoes with sweet potatoes or adding a variety of colorful vegetables like carrots and bell peppers to the dish.
