Instructions:
-
Prepare Pork Chops: Begin by browning the pork chops lightly in a skillet. Sprinkle them with seasoned salt for added flavor, then set them aside while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
-
Mix Creamy Potato Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, pepper, and half a teaspoon of seasoned salt. Stir in the O’Brien potatoes (diced potatoes mixed with onions and peppers) and half a cup of shredded cheddar cheese. For an extra crunch and flavor, add half of the can of French fried onions to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Layer Ingredients: Transfer the creamy potato mixture to the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Arrange the browned pork chops on top of the potato mixture, ensuring they are nestled in nicely.
-
Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake the pork chops O’Brien for 40 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the pork to cook through.
-
Add Cheese and Onions: After 40 minutes, remove the foil from the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and French fried onions over the top of the pork chops and potatoes. This adds a golden, cheesy crust and an extra layer of crunch.
-
Final Bake: Return the uncovered dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the onions are crispy and golden brown.
-
Serve: Once done, carefully remove the Pork Chops O’Brien from the oven. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious dish that brings back fond memories of home-cooked meals.
