Cheesy pork chop casserole is the perfect way to use leftover pork chops and is a great recipe to sneak extra veggies and beans in your kid's diets. So, what do you do with leftover pork chops? Or steak? It just isn't the same when you heat them up the next day. Are they? This is why I love my cheesy pork chop casserole.
So, I try to use mine in casseroles. And the benefit of the casseroles is that I can "sneak" in some extra goodies. Veggies or beans for much-needed fiber. As you know I have a stubborn pooper.
Cheesy Pork Chop Casserole Ingredients
This recipe already uses the obvious, leftover pork chops. But in addition to that is an area of nutritious ingredients that will not be expected by your un expecting children or husband.
These are the ingredients for this hidden vegetable recipes.
- Pork chops cut into cubes
- Bell Pepper
- Onion
- Celery
- Chickpeas - These are totally optional
- Cream of mushroom or chicken soup
- Sour cream
- Shredded cheese - Colby Jack, Cheddar or Velveeta
- Hash browns - Cubed variety
- Butter
- Corn Flakes
- Parmesan Cheese
- Creole or Cajun seasoning
How to make Pork Chop and Hashbrown Casserole
Start by chopping up one onion, one green pepper, and two celery stalks. For the garlic lovers, throw in some minced garlic.
Saute in a couple of dabs of butter.
Cut the chops into bite-size pieces.
Add to the vegetables.
While the meat is heating up, mix together the hasbrowns, sour cream, a can of cream of mushroom or chicken soup, and 8 ounces of cheese. Add 1 teaspoon of creole seasoning or seasoned salt if you don't want to kick it up a notch.
If you are using the beans in your recipe, chop up the garbanzos to be about the size of the hash browns.
Then stir them into the hashbrowns. Stir the sauteed vegetables and pork chops into the hash brown mixture as well.
If you want to freeze half of this cheesy pork chop casserole, split between two 8 x 8 pans. If you want to enjoy leftover, put casserole ingredients into one large 13 x 9 pan.
Mix together a half a stick of melted butter, two cups of corn flakes and ½ cup Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle the buttery cheesy corn flakes over top of each casserole.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes on 350°. If you are cooking the frozen casserole, let thaw in the fridge for 24 hours and then bake for 35-45 minutes.
Serve the casserole immediately. The great thing with this casserole is there is no need for sides so your kids will think they got away with no vegetables.
