🧀 Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cheesy Potatoes with Tender Garlic Beef Chops 🥩



This hearty, flavorful dish is perfect for family dinners or special occasions, combining creamy, cheesy potatoes with succulent, garlic-infused beef chops.



Ingredients:


For the Cheesy Potatoes:


6 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 ½ cups heavy cream

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)


For the Garlic Beef Chops:


4 beef chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1 inch thick)

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons unsalted butter


Instructions:


Prepare the Cheesy Potatoes:


Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat until warm, but do not boil.


Layer Potatoes: Arrange the sliced potatoes in the baking dish. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.


Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.


Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Prepare the Garlic Beef Chops:


Season the Chops: Rub the beef chops with olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper on both sides.


Sear the Chops: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned.


Add Butter: Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet, basting the chops with the melted butter and garlic for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness (145°F for medium-rare).


Rest: Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.


Serving Suggestions:


Plate the cheesy potatoes alongside the garlic beef chops.

Serve with a crisp side salad or steamed green beans for a balanced meal.


Pair with a bold red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon to complement the rich flavors.
