How To Make Pork Chop Potato Casserole
1. Prep work: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or something similar in size with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Sear the pork chops: Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet to medium high heat and cook the pork chops on both sides until golden brown.
3. Cook the onion: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and add the sliced onions to it. Sauté them for a minute or so until golden brown.
4. Make the filling: Add the cream of mushroom soup, milk of your choice, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the onions. Stir to combine everything together.
5. Assemble the casserole: Arrange the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top the potatoes with the condensed soup mixture and place the seared pork chops on top.
6. Bake: Put the casserole in the oven and bake it for 45 minutes. Top with fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
Tips To Make The Best Recipe
- Swap the cream of mushroom soup with condensed cream of chicken soup or cream of celery soup for a different flavor.
- Use boneless pork chops for a more convenient casserole dish. If you are using bone in pork chops, add a little extra cooking time until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Use a mandoline slicer to make it easier to slice the potatoes.
- Add French fried onions on top of the casserole and bake for 5 minutes before serving for an added crunch.
- Top the casserole with shredded cheese or French fried onions for added flavor and texture.
How To Store Pork Chop Potato Casserole
In the fridge: Store any leftover pork chop casserole in an airtight container or cover the baking dish with a lid. The casserole will last in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

Reheating: Put the casserole back in a baking dish and warm it in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through. Let the frozen casserole thaw in the fridge overnight or add more reheating time.

I have been making this for many years. I add my onions uncooked to my potatoes. I also put 4 dollops of butter on the potato and onions before I add the cream of mushroom soup and milk mixture. I have never added salt and pepper to it. Taste is everything in my world. You can not go wrong my way. LoL.

Very good but my potatoes did not get done all the way after baking for an hour and a half. Any suggestions? They were sliced very thin

You can parboil the potatoes after slicing for about 10 minutes to help them cook better
