It's nothing new, but I sure have been craving it a lot lately, and I find that when I have company, it's a large dish that goes quite a long way. Not sure of the size of my casserole dish, but it's bigger than a 9x13 pan. It's just a big shallow oval glass casserole dish. Anyway, I peel 10 to 12 potatos and slice them pretty thin. I have one of those Pampered chef cheese graders that has a couple of slicer inserts. I put the slices in the bottom of the caserole dish. Then I open a can of cream of celery or cream ofcheddar and broccoli soup and spread it all around. Then I cover all of that with several slices of american cheese. I put my pork chops on top and cover it with foil and bake it at 400 degrees for about 2 to 2.5 hours. It really depends on the depth of your casserole dish. You want your potatos to get done and not be crunchy. When I think they're done, I take it out, uncover it, cut the chops off the bone and cut it in to small pieces and mix it in to the potatos. I stir in anywhere from 8 to 12 ounces of sour cream and then top it with graded cheddar cheese. I strongly recommend getting a block and grading it yourself. The flavor is much stronger, especially if you get the sharp cheddar. I put it back in to the oven and reduce the heat to about 325 or so. You won't want to cook that sour cream at a high temperature. I cook it for about 15 more minutes, uncovered and it's ready to eat. It's absolutely delicious and most people rave over it.
Wow that sounds really good. I'll have to try that. Thanks for the recipe.
If the potatos are big, try using only 7 or 8. I made that mistake this morning. I was expecting company this weekend, but it didn't happen, but since I bought the stuff, I decided to cook the taters anyway. I peeled 12 potatos and sliced them and poured them in to my casserole dish, only to realize that it was overkill. Guess I wasn't paying attention to the size of them. I had to use two cans of soup. I just put them in the oven a few minutes ago. Let's hope it doesn't overflow the pan. this should be some good eatin' though.
I've tried that plenty of times. It really does make for a good meal when you have an unusual amount of people in your home. Well at least in my opinion it does.
omg that sounds good...
Sounds like a good thing for sure! My kinda grub.
I don't really like scalloped potatoes, lol. But if I hadn't just eaten I might have gotten hungry after reading it, lol.
it sounds bloody brilliant. I had dinner but you're all already making me hungry for more! it's no fair! hahah *kidding* I don't like either of the soups think it would work with cream of mushrooms?
you might try some ham steaks for additional flavor.
Oh yes, I've tried those and actually prefer them now.
