Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Brown both sides of the pork chops (don't fully cook the pork chops - just a minute on both sides to get them brown.) Set aside pork chops.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup with the heavy cream, milk and minced garlic (this is the sauce.) Set aside.
- Slice potatoes and chop onions. Note: You could slice the potatoes in half after slicing them lengthwise (into a half-moon shape) to make them more bite-sized if you like.
- Spread the sliced potatoes and the onions into the bottom of a 5 quart or larger oval slow cooker. Season with salt & pepper.
- Spread half the sauce mixture on top of the potatoes.
- Sprinkle one cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Place pork chops in a single layer on top of cheese.
- Spread the rest of the sauce mixture on top of the pork chops. Cover with remaining cheese.
- Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours. (It only took about 4 hours in my slow cooker)
- When done, sprinkle the top with sliced green onion.
- Then serve. Be sure to spread extra cream sauce on top!

20-GARLIC PORK AND POTATOES SKILLET
We've rarely had a five-ingredient meal that tastes as good as this one and cooks in a single dish. This simplicity is actual the secret to this recipe's success. A clever stovetop-to-oven technique allows both the pork and potatoes to cook perfectly while giving the garlic time to mellow and infuse, so it flavors-but doesn't overpower-the dish. At the same time, the potatoes absorb flavor from the meat and the garlic, so by the time you take the skillet out of the oven, they're deeply savory. The whole meal is so elegant and delicious that people naturally assume it's taken loads of time to prepare, which is why we keep this recipe in our back pockets for those situations when there's pressure to impress.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- In a large cast iron skillet or oven-proof pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add onions. Saute onions until they are soft and translucent.
- Add the pork chops and brown on each side. Once pork chops are browned, add in potatoes, positioning them in between the pork chops so that they are in contact with the skillet (not on top of pork chops).
- Whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour into 8 oz of beef broth and then pour into the skillet. Bring to a boil.
- Cover the skillet and transfer to the oven.
- After about 2 hours reduce the heat to 250 degrees and allow to continue to slow cook for another 2.5 hours.
- Whisk remaining flour into remaining beef broth. (If you want more gravy, use more broth. If you want a slightly thicker gravy, add a little extra flour.) Pour the mixture into the skillet and raise the temperature of the oven back to 300 for the remaining 30 minutes of cooking time.
- Serve and enjoy with some hot bread and butter and a salad and you're good to go!

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality pork and potatoes. Look for pork that is well-marbled and potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the pork. If you do, the pork will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the pork until it is browned on all sides, but not cooked through. The pork will continue to cook in the oven.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor and nutrients to the dish.
- Season the stew to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a splash of white wine or beer for extra flavor.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Serve the stew over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Conclusion:
Country pork and potatoes is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious stew that will warm you from the inside out. `
