Garlic Parmesan Beef Chops with Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Rub the mixture over both sides of the beef chops.

4. 4

   In an oven-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chops for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

5. 5

   In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

6. 6

   Add heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Heat until just about to simmer, then remove from heat.

7. 7

   Layer half of the potato slices in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

8. 8

   Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and cheese.

9. 9

   Place the seared beef chops on top of the scalloped potatoes.

    Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender, and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
