These tender pork chops and creamy potatoes are extra easy to assemble. French-fried onions add a flavorful touch to this all-in-one dinner.

6 bone-in pork chops (1/2 inch thick)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 (30 oz) package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 (10-3/4 oz) can condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (2.8 oz) French-fried onions, divided

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown chops in oil on both sides; set aside and keep warm. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, 1 cup cheese, soup, milk, sour cream, seasoned salt and pepper. Stir in 1/2 of the onions.

2. Transfer to a greased 5 quart slow cooker; top with the pork chops. Cover and cook on high for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until meat juices run clear. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and onions. Cover and cook 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yields 6 servings.
