How to make Real Old-Fashioned Pork Chop Casserole:

Step 1: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and pour in the olive oil. Pour in the previously seasoned pork chops, and cook until golden brown on both sides.

Step 2: While the chops are browning, wash and dry each potato. Cut slices as thin and even as possible, just like onions. Reserve.

Step 3: Remove the pork chops from the pan, and add the onions without turning off the flame. Let them cook and brown for 5 minutes and remove from the pan.

Step 4: In the same pan, add the two tablespoons of butter, and add the flour without stopping beating. Beware of lumps.

Step 5: Add the chicken broth little by little, and stir until smooth. Boil until thickened.

Step 6: Pour in the chicken cream, along with the shredded cheese and onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and any other herbs you like. Lower the heat.

Step 7: Butter a separate saucepan, and place the potatoes stacked on top of each other. Pour the previously prepared sauce over the potatoes without mixing.

Step 8: Place the pork chops on the potatoes and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated oven to 350°F for 75 minutes. Once ready, remove from the oven and allow resting for 10 minutes before serving.
