Pork Chop Hash Brown Casserole is a one pan meal. Seasoned pork chops baked on top of a creamy, cheesy hash brown casserole!

A WHOLE MEAL IN ONE DISH

I love entire meals that cook all in one dish. It takes the guesswork out of figuring out side dishes to go along with your main dish. That is always the hardest part of meal planning for me – deciding on side dishes! By the time I am done preparing and cooking the main dish, then I have to start on side dishes. It can be time consuming and create a lot of dishes. This pork chop hash brown casserole solves that problem for you!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can I use boneless pork chops?

You could as long as they are thick. The flavor of bone-in pork chops really holds up to the cooking process in this casserole dish.

What should I serve as a side dish?

This really is an all-in-one meal. However, I think you could definitely serve it with some steamed green beans, MAPLE GLAZED CARROTS or my 2-INGREDIENT CREAM BISCUITS.

Is it necessary to brown the pork chops first?

Do not skip this step. Browning adds so much flavor to the pork chops. It also adds a beautiful golden color that makes it appealing. Just don’t brown the pork chops for too long or they will start to cook all the way through and we don’t want overcooked, rubbery pork chops when the casserole is finished.

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Once skillet is nice and hot, add in pork chops and brown pork chops on both sides in hot oil. You will need to do this in batches. Be sure not to cook pork chops all the way through, they will finish cooking in the oven.

Note: you may need to add more oil to the pan while browning the pork chops. Set aside browned pork chops while making hash brown mixture.

  1. I prefer the thin chops. Would it work to add the chops half way thru the oven cooking of the cheese/hash brown portion?

  2. 5 stars
    This recipe is even better with I can of Durkees onions. Add half can to the potatoes with cheese and soup. During last 5 minutes of baking, top casserole with the other half of the can of Durkees onions and bake uncovered.

    This casserole was simple to put together, but even better than that, my family loved it! Not a drop of leftovers! I used 6 boneless pork chops and it came out wonderfully! My son and Hubs went back for seconds! I served it with some steamed broccoli on the side. Thank you for such a lovely recipe!

  4. The first time I made this it was so good, I vowed to keep the ingredients on hand. Tonight I came home and thought, this is a great night for porkchop and hash brown casserole! Only to find out I didn't have the porkchops. But I DO have cubed ham that is ready to fry! Insert pork whatever. Lol. Thank you so much Brandi, for making such awesome and easy recipes available! I am completely jealous that Amanda has you for a friend! -Tanya

  5. I have had this recipe Pinned for a while. Hindsight being foresight, I don't know why I waited this long to make it! Was YUMMY! I followed the directions as written. With the exception of seasoning the pork chops. A keeper! Next time, will HAVE to make two pans! TY for sharing.

  6. Could you please tell me if that is just peaches on the side or something else?? If its something else I would love the recipe if you dont mind sharing 🙂

  7. Nice change from the usual porkchop recipes. I followed another post which suggested adding French Fried Onions. Excellent addition. The last few minutes I added more cheddar cheese and FFOnions on top of the chops. Will definitely make this recipe again. Thank you for the recipe.

  8. I just made this for dinner the other night and both my husband and 2 year old daughter loved it! Good call on seasoning the pork chops, I sprinkled a little salt, pepper and a dash of Cajun seasoning on both sides of the pork chops.
    Will definitely being making this again!

  9. My husband refuses to eat anything with cream of celery or mushroom.. He is a cream of chicken guy… What do you think about substituting the cream of celery for the chicken… Think it would still be as good???

  10. Here is a similar recipe for the crockpot. (An added bonus is the french-fried onions others have commented on). I found it in a Taste of Home magazine. It was submitted by Dawn Huizinga from Owatonna, Minnesota.

    Pork Chop Potato Dinner
    cook time: 2.5 – 3 hours

    6 bone-in pork chops
    (1/2 inch thick)
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 package (30 ounces) frozen hash
    brown potatoes, thawed
    1.5 cups (6 ounces) shredded
    cheddar cheese, divided
    1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed
    cream of celery soup, undiluted
    1/2 cup of milk
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
    1/8 teaspoon pepper
    1 can (2.8 ounces) french-fried
    onions, divided

    *In a large skillet, brown chops in oil on both sides; set aside and keep warm. In a bowl, combine the potatoes, 1 cup cheese, soup, milk, sour cream, seasoned salt, and pepper. Stir in half of the onions.

    *Transfer to a greased 5 quart slow cooker; top with pork chops. Cover and cook on high for 2.5 to 3hours or until meat juices run clear. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and onions. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Enjoy.

    Incidentally, the Gooseberry Patch recipe you posted for this came from a woman living in Wooster, Ohio. I live 30 minutes from there.

    I just found your blog and I'm loving it. I have spent all day looking at your recipes instead of doing my homework. I have found many recipes that I want to try. Best wishes to you, your family, and your scrumptious (my 8 year old just used this word last night) blog.

      I made your crock pot recipe last night but I only made 3 pork chops because I was serving only 2 of us and I cut the hash browns down to half a package. I also used Healthy Request Cream of Celery soup because it is low sodium and has no MSG which will put me in the hospital as I am highly allergic to it. I didn’t used the french fried onions but used a small red onion finally diced that I combined in the soup mixture. It turned out so very good. Thanks for all of the notes and the change up in the recipe. .

  11. I made this last night. I substituted thick pork cutlets for the bone-in pork chops and used southwest style hash browns and omitted the onion. It was delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe.

  12. Hi! I'm making this for dinner tonight and I can't wait to taste it! It has everything my fam. loves!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe & Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
