1. Peel and slice the potatoes, no more than ¼ inch each slice
   Peel and quarter the onion, split each quarter in half
2. Use a block of Cheddar Cheese, shred it freshly

   In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onions, cheese and the milk, I also add in the seasonings at this time
5. Mix all together to combine well
6. Put this mix into the prepared baking pan
7. Slice the butter into equal slices and lay on top of the potato mix
8. Place the pork chops on top of the cheese and potato mixture
9. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes at 350*
10. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the pork chops over
11. Check the pork to ensure it is no longer pink, if it is, continue baking for another 15 minutes.
12. Stab the potatoes with a fork to check for tenderness. If they also need longer, cover the baking pan with aluminum foil to prevent the meat from drying out.
