Creamy Pork Chop Bake

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 pork chops
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 (20 ounce) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups French-fried onions, divided

DIRECTIONS
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add pork chops and saute until browned. Remove from skillet and drain on paper toweling. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl mix together soup, milk, sour cream and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in potatoes, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 cup onions. Mix together and spread mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange pork chops over potato mixture.

Cover dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until internal temperature of pork has reached 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove cover; top with remaining cheese and onions and bake uncovered for 5 more minutes.

Review: It was good, but rather bland. I topped it with more than 1/2 cup onions and more cheese, but it was still rather bland. I substituted chopped up boneless pork ribs for the pork chops b/c that is what I had on hand. Next time, I'd probably use a can of cream of chicken instead of the cream of celery and perhaps some additional seasoning as the salt and pepper didn't cut it. I had a ton of leftovers and will halve the recipe the next time I make it. One last note, you could easily sub chopped up chicken for the pork.
