2½cupswhole milk,warmed to between 135-145°F
1½cupsshredded Colby jack cheese,divided into 1 cup and ½ cup
2cupsFrench fried onions
2teaspoonschopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Season both sides of the boneless pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Add olive oil and boneless pork chops in a large (12-inch) skillet on medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. You are not looking to cook the pork chops all the way through at this point only to give them a beautiful golden exterior. You may need to sear your pork chops in two batches if your pan is too crowded with all six pork chops in the pan at once. Once you have seared all the pork chops, turn off the heat to the skillet and transfer the pork chops to a plate to rest while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Open the boxes of scalloped potatoes, remove the flavor pouches, and pour all the dried potatoes into an even layer in the prepared 9x13 casserole dish. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, the contents of the scalloped potato flavor pouches, and the warmed whole milk. Whisk together until all the ingredients are fully combined and no lumps from the cream of mushroom soup remain.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the potatoes in the casserole dish. Be sure that all the potatoes are submerged in the soup mixture.
Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded Colby jack cheese over the surface of the potatoes.
Place the seared pork chops into the casserole dish over the top of the potatoes in a single layer, followed by sprinkling the remaining ½ cup shredded Colby jack cheese over the tops of the pork chops.
Tightly cover the entire casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the aluminum foil from the casserole dish, sprinkle the top of the pork chop casserole with the French fried onions, and bake, uncovered, for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the French fried onions are golden and crispy.
Remove the pork chop casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-8 minutes. Sprinkle the casserole with the chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
When you brown your pork chops, be sure you don't overcrowd your pan. If your pork chops won't fit in a single layer in your skillet, work in batches.
When you first sear your pork chops in the skillet, keep in mind you're not looking to cook your pork through. You just want to give the outside a beautiful, golden brown sear.
