These baked pork chops and creamy potatoes are the perfect family friendly dinner for busy weeknights. The pork is perfectly cooked and truly melts in your mouth. This is my favorite type of recipe since it’s easy and everyone in the family loves it.
Even better, the recipe is very forgiving! If you get distracted signing field trip forms or helping one of the kids with homework and accidentally cook it too long, it still stays incredibly moist and delicious.
How to Make Baked Pork Chops and Creamy Potatoes
This recipe is really easy to throw together. First, you just need to peel and dice some potatoes.
Next, you add some diced green pepper, shredded cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, and chicken broth.
Stir it all together and pour into a casserole dish.
Top with the pork chops and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Finally, cover it with foil and toss it in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. I like a nice brown crust on top so I remove the foil and broil it for an additional two minutes at the end.
To serve it, I place the pork chop on each plate and then top it with the creamy potato mixture. Trust me, your family will be drooling while they’re waiting to dig in!
