Another way that I do pork chops, that are juicy, tender and oh-so easy .....
What oven temp and how long?
Lay uncooked chops in a flat baking pan.
Top with sliced potatoes, as you would for scalloped potatoes.
Include sliced onions and/or carrots to your choosing.
Add melted butter and season as desired.
Pour in milk.
Top with foil .... and bake.
Now, the best part .......... go to the sewing room while it bakes!

The foil topping will keep the moisture in there and help tenderize the chops as they cook.
Remove the foil at the end, and let the milk cook off.
The starch of the potatoes will help thicken the milk, to be more like scalloped potatoes.

This is my easy-no-fail and most favoured pork chop method!
