Well, let me tell ya, if ya wanna make a good meal, ya gotta try scalloped potatoes and pork chops. It’s real simple, and fills ya right up. First thing ya need is some nice pork chops, not too thick, and some potatoes. The kind ya peel and slice up. I like to use the regular ones, ya know, the yellowy kind.
Now, ya gotta get them potatoes all sliced up nice and thin. The thinner, the better. Then, take a big ol’ pot, and throw in some butter. Let it melt a bit, then add some onions if ya like that sort of thing. Cook ‘em till they’re soft and smellin’ good.
Next, add a bit of flour to the onions, just a couple of tablespoons. Stir it all up and then slowly pour in some milk. Keep stirrin’ till it gets thick and creamy. This is gonna be your gravy. If ya want, throw in some salt and pepper for taste, but don’t go overboard. Ya don’t want it too salty.
Now, let’s get to the fun part! Grab a big casserole dish. Start with a layer of potatoes at the bottom. Then, pour some of that creamy gravy over them. Then, lay down a couple of pork chops. Keep doin’ this till ya run outta potatoes and chops. End with a layer of gravy on top. Make sure it’s all covered nice and good.
Cover the dish with some aluminum foil and put it in the oven at about 350 degrees. Let it cook for a good hour. After that, take off the foil and let it bake for another half hour or so. This way, the top gets all nice and brown. Oh boy, you should smell it; it’s heavenly!
While that’s cookin’, ya might wanna think about what else to serve with it. A green veggie goes real well, like some broccoli or green beans. Just steam ’em a bit, and they’ll be ready when your casserole is done. If ya want something more hearty, maybe some mashed potatoes on the side. Can’t go wrong with that!
When everything’s ready, pull it outta the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. It’s gonna be bubbling and hot! Serve it up on a plate, and trust me, folks are gonna love it. They’ll be askin’ for seconds, for sure.
So, remember, makin’ scalloped potatoes and pork chops ain’t hard. It just takes a bit of time and love. And if ya follow these steps, you’ll have a meal that warms ya up and fills ya up, just like a good home-cooked meal should.
Happy cookin’, everyone!
