Shirred Potatoes and Pork Chops

Drescription

A hearty casserole where pork chops bake on top of creamy, thin-sliced potatoes. As it cooks, the juices from the meat flavor the potatoes—comfort food perfection in one dish.

Ingredients

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

Directions

Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 2- quart baking dish.
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.
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.
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.
Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours.

Spinach Ravioli with Artichokes & Olives

Store-bought spinach ravioli and a handful of basic pantry items are all you need to get a healthy dinner on the table. Ingredients like oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, briny Kalamata olives and toasty pine nuts help to build big flavor fast. If you can’t find frozen artichokes, swap in a 15-ounce can (just be sure to drain and rinse them well).
