Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. If desired, add minced garlic to infuse the butter with rich flavor. |
| 2 | Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides, ensuring they are evenly coated with the seasoning. |
| 3 | In the same skillet, brown the pork chops on both sides until they develop a golden crust, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Once browned, transfer the pork chops to the bottom of a casserole dish, arranging them in a single layer. |
| 4 | Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes by washing, peeling (if desired), and slicing them into rounds or wedges. |
| 5 | In the skillet with the remaining drippings from the pork chops, add the drained potatoes, stirring to coat them in the flavorful drippings. |
| 6 | Layer the seasoned potatoes evenly over the browned pork chops in the casserole dish. Season the potatoes with additional salt and pepper to taste. |
| 7 | Next, pour the creamed corn evenly over the layer of potatoes, ensuring that it covers the entire surface. The creamy texture of the corn will add a rich and velvety touch to the dish. |
| 8 | Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil to trap the moisture and flavors inside. |
| 9 | Bake the Pork Chops Etc. in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-90 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked, and the potatoes are fork-tender. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops and the desired level of doneness. |
| 10 | Once cooked, remove the casserole dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. |
| 11 | Serve the Pork Chops Etc. hot, accompanied by a generous dollop of applesauce on the side. The tangy sweetness of the applesauce perfectly complements the savory flavors of the pork chops and creamy corn, creating a symphony of flavors on your plate. |
| 12 | Enjoy this comforting and satisfying meal with your loved ones, and savor every delicious bite! |
Tips:
- For added convenience, you can use frozen hash browns or pre-sliced potatoes instead of fresh potatoes.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite herbs and spices to enhance the flavor profile. Rosemary, thyme, or paprika would be excellent choices.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, you can broil the dish for a few minutes after baking to achieve a golden crust on the potatoes.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
