Ingredients:
Garlic Parmesan Beef Chops:
4 beef chops (bone-in or boneless)
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or ½ tsp dried rosemary)
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes:
4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Beef Chops
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Rub the mixture over both sides of the beef chops for a savory garlic-Parmesan crust.
4. Heat a small amount of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add heavy cream, salt, and pepper, heating until just below a simmer, then remove from heat.
3. Layer half of the potato slices in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle with half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
4. Repeat with remaining potatoes, cream, and cheese for layers of creamy, cheesy goodness.
Step 3: Bake
1. Place the seared garlic Parmesan beef chops on top of the scalloped potatoes in the baking dish.
2. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are tender and cheese is golden and bubbly.
