Farmer’s Pork Chops
Farmer’s Pork Chops -A perfect Sunday dinner – The whole meal bakes up in a casserole dish starting with layers of potatoes and onions, while the pork chops cook on top. So good!
Oh how I adore this recipe! It is super comforting! And there is just something so appealing about being able to cook your meat and your veggies together, right? These Farmer’s Pork Chops will be a hit…I promise!
After layering your potatoes and onions, a wonderful white gravy is poured on top. The pork chops get cooked in a skillet just until browned and then placed on top to finish baking over the potatoes. The juices from the pork chops drip down over the potatoes and gravy while cooking. Delicious!
This comforting meal comes from Paula Deen’s first cookbook, The Lady and Sons.
Farmer's Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 thick
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced thinly into half rings
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup flour
- seasoned salt or creole seasoning
- 5 center cut pork chops, 1/2 inch thick
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- White Sauce:
- 1 stick butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 to 2 tsp salt
- 1/2 to 3/4 tsp pepper
- 4 cups milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large casserole dish, layer half of the potatoes and half of the onion. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with other half of potatoes and onions and salt and pepper.
- Prepare the white sauce by melting the butter in a large sauce pan. Turn off heat. Stir in flour. Add salt and pepper.
- Over medium heat, add milk, 1 cup at a time. Bring to a boil and stir frequently. Reduce heat and simmer 1 to 2 minutes. Sauce should thicken. Then let set a minute.
- Pour sauce over potatoes and bake for 15 minutes, uncovered.
- While potatoes are cooking. Season pork chops with seasoned salt. Dredge pork chops in a little flour. Lightly brown in vegetable oil. Do not cook them completely.
- Remove potatoes from oven and place pork chops on top of potatoes as they are removed from the pan. Arrange pork chops until they all fit.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, uncovered. The sauce will come out bubbly and so good after baking under the pork chops! Serve with a vegetable side. Enjoy!!

Hi! I have made the recipe to the point of putting the pork chops on top of the potatoes. I would like to finish the baking later in the day so I can serve it right out of the oven and not have to reheat it. Do you think that will be okay?
Thanks,
Susan
Hi Susan! Sorry for the late reply as I am assuming you tried it out. I would think it would be fine, and I would just cool it before refrigerating for the day. Hope it came out good for you!
Wow! This was fantastic for dinner tonight! Thanks for the recipe! I added some smoked paprika to the potatoes and directly to the pork chops–yum! We will definitely have this again!
Hi Mandy! We love this one too, which reminds me it’s been a while since I made it! That needs to change soon! Thanks for visiting 🙂
This might have already been said, but I have two suggestions. Use whole milk for best consistency. Also, use a whisk to make it much easier to break up the flour mixture. Thanks for the great recipe!
Thanks Maranda!
Can you use boneless pork chops? And if so, how long would you recommend baking it?
Hi Jessica! Yes, you can use boneless pork chops. I would bake them about 25 to 30 minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, they need to be about 145 degrees. Thanks for visiting.

Hi have you ever cut this recipe in half? I cook for 2 and I am wondering if it ruins the sauce.
Hi Monica! This does make a large recipe, so you would definitely want to cut it in half for 2 people. The sauce and everything else should come out fine.
