This delightful recipe for herb-crusted pork chops with cheese scalloped potatoes is a comforting nod to the hearty meals we enjoyed on Sunday afternoons back in the day. Often, after church, family and friends would gather around a big table, and dishes like this were the star of the show. The crispy, herb-infused crust on the pork chops pairs beautifully with the creamy, cheesy scalloped potatoes, making it a perfect meal for bringing people together. It’s a taste of home, tradition, and the simple joy of good food shared with loved ones.
This meal pairs wonderfully with steamed green beans or buttered peas, bringing a fresh contrast to the rich flavors. A simple side salad with a tangy vinaigrette would also complement the creaminess of the scalloped potatoes. If you have some fresh bread on hand, that’d be excellent for sopping up any extra cheese sauce. Finish the meal with a slice of apple pie for a truly classic Midwestern feast.
