Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 4 center thick-cut pork chops bone-in
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • garlic powder to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (10.75-ounce) can cream of celery soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 (32-ounce) package frozen shredded hash browns thawed
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Preheat a large skillet over high heat and add the oil.
  • Season both sides of the pork chops with the salt, the pepper, and the garlic powder.
  • Add the pork chops to the hot skillet and, working in batches, brown on both sides until they are almost cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. They will finish cooking in the oven.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, the cream of celery soup, and the milk.
  • Stir the hash browns and the onion into the sour cream mixture.
  • Spread the hash brown-sour cream mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish and sprinkle it with the cheddar cheese.
  • Top the bake with the pork chops.
  • Bake, uncovered, until heated through and the pork chops are fully cooked, about 45-50 minutes. If the casserole starts to get too brown while cooking, cover it with aluminum foil.
  • Serve.
