Immerse yourself in the rustic charm of Italian home cooking with our tantalizing Italian pork and potato casserole. Featuring tender pork, crispy potatoes, and a rich, flavorful sauce, this classic dish is a symphony of comforting flavors. This hearty and versatile recipe offers two delectable variations to suit your taste buds.

The first recipe captures the essence of authentic Italian cuisine with its use of traditional spices and herbs. Slow-cooked pork shoulder, browned to perfection, forms the succulent base of the casserole. Layered upon this savory foundation are tender potatoes, absorbing the succulent juices and infusing the dish with a delightful starchiness. A vibrant sauce, crafted from crushed tomatoes, garlic, and a medley of herbs, blankets the casserole, creating a flavorful tapestry of textures and tastes.

Alternatively, the second recipe introduces a modern twist to this classic casserole. Ground pork, seasoned with a blend of zesty Italian herbs, replaces the pork shoulder, adding a leaner and more contemporary touch. Crispy potato chips, crushed and sprinkled over the casserole, provide an irresistible textural contrast, while a creamy sauce, made from a combination of milk, cheese, and seasonings, adds a velvety richness.

Whether you prefer the traditional or the modern rendition, this Italian pork and potato casserole promises an unforgettable culinary experience. Its ease of preparation and versatility make it perfect for busy weeknight dinners, casual gatherings, or special occasions. So, gather your ingredients, fire up the oven, and let the aromas of Italy fill your kitchen. Buon Appetito!

ITALIAN PORK AND RICE CASSEROLE



Italian Pork and Rice Casserole image

Looking for a dinner that you can make on the fly? This easy casserole has flexibility built right into it, which we know you'll appreciate on busy nights when dinner needs to get on the table fast. It starts with pork, but which cut you use is up to you-try it with pork chops, pork loin or tenderloin. From there, it gets Italian seasoning and the unexpected addition of Progresso™ cannellini beans, a pantry staple that ups the heartiness factor in this warming dinner. It's a riff on classic rice casserole that keeps the easy prep and one-dish cleanup but switches up the flavor for something fun and out of the ordinary.

SHEET PAN PORK TENDERLOIN AND POTATOES



Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin and Potatoes image

Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin and Potatoes is a fabulous sheet pan recipe you'll want to make over and over. Coming together in just 35 short minutes, once you make this, you'll wonder why this hasn't been your go-to dinner all along.

Provided by Tiffany

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½-2 pounds pork tenderloin
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 teapsoons garlic
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
1 ½ - 2 pounds baby red and/or gold potatoes (halved)
3 tablespoons oil
salt and pepper to taste
½ teaspoon Italian blend herbs
½ teaspoon garlic powder
⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease a sheet pan. Line one half of the sheet pan with foil, folding up the sides about 2 inches from the edge to make a "tray" (to prevent pork juices from spilling out). Place tenderloin in the center of the foil tray.
  • Pat tenderloin dry with a paper towel. Whisk together brown sugar, garlic, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes, and paprika. Pour over pork tenderloin, then turn the tenderloin over a couple of times to make sure all sides are coated.
  • Arrange potatoes on the other half of the sheet pan (non-foil half). Drizzle with oil, toss to coat, then season with salt and pepper to taste, Italian herbs, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, using tongs to turn the pork over in the sauces every 5-10 minutes. *I like to switch the oven to BROIL for the last 2-3 minutes to brown the pork and potatoes - but watch carefully so it doesn't burn! Allow pork to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1-inch sections and serving.
