Instructions:
- Season the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Brown the Beauties: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
- Sautéing the Onions: In the same skillet (with the remaining drippings), add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
- The Floury Transformation: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onions and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Broth and Blessings: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Creamy Dreams: Stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, dried thyme, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Potato Power: In a separate bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Layering the Love: In a greased baking dish, spread half of the potato slices in an even layer. Top with the browned pork chops and pour the creamy sauce over everything. Finish with the remaining potato slices.
- Baking Bliss: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the casserole for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- A Touch of Rest: Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and ensures the dish isn’t piping hot.
