Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 3 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 pork chops
• 4 large potatoes, shredded, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Step 2

Whisk together the milk, flour, butter, salt, and pepper in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until the mixture thickens, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the white sauce from the heat.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium heat, and sear the pork chops on both sides in the hot skillet just until browned, about 5 minutes. Set the pork chops aside.

Step 4

Place about 2/3 of the shredded potatoes into the prepared baking dish. Potatoes should fill about 2/3 of the dish. Top with the seared pork chops, and top with the remaining shredded potatoes. Pour the white sauce over the casserole.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours.
