¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten

For the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes:

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

Prepare the Pork Chops:

4. Place the pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.

Prepare the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes:
1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
