Ingredients
Scale
- Garlic Parmesan Beef Chops:
- 4 beef chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or ½ tsp dried rosemary)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes:
- 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (optional, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Chops
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the mixture over both sides of the beef chops.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chops for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Heat until just about to simmer, then remove from heat.
- Layer half of the potato slices in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and cheese.
Step 3: Bake
- Place the seared beef chops on top of the scalloped potatoes.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender, and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Notes
- You can substitute beef chops with pork chops if preferred.
- For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes after baking.
- Fresh thyme adds a burst of flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
