Cheesy Potato Broccoli Pork Chop Bake is a delicious all in one family dinner of tender crisp broccoli and seasoned pork chops nestled into a creamy baked potato casserole.
If you have ever had hash brown casserole, or “funeral potatoes” as they are sometimes called, you probably know how good the baked mixture of soup, hash browns, sour cream and cheese can be as a side dish on its own.
Add broccoli and pork chops and the combination becomes Cheesy Potato Broccoli Pork Chop Bake – a delicious all in one weeknight meal!
What you’ll need to make This Easy Dinner
- Frozen Hash Brown Potatoes – shredded or diced, with or without onions and peppers.
- Condensed Cream of Celery Soup – the canned kind. Cream of mushroom or cream of chicken can be used instead if that is what you have in the cupboard,
- Milk – we use whole milk but 2% or even skim milk may be substituted.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese – Any blend of shredded cheese will work for this. Some that we have tried include sharp cheddar, blends of shredded cheese, Colby Jack, and shredded Mozzarella.
- Onion – medium sized, yellow or white, peeled and chopped.
- Broccoli Florets – fresh or frozen, bite sized pieces.
- Pork Chops – 4-6 pork chips, 1-2 pounds. Boneless or bone in will work for this dish.If using thick, bone in chops, you may need to cook for longer. Be sure to check the temperature of the pork chops and make sure it is around 160 degrees F before serving.
- Pantry Staples – olive oil, garlic powder, and salt & pepper.
