Mama smothers pork chops in cola soda in casserole. This recipe is to die for

chops practically beg to be served over a soft, starchy bed that can soak up all that cola-onion gravy. Fluffy mashed potatoes are the old standby in my kitchen, but buttered egg noodles or plain white rice will do the job just as well. A pan of green beans—cooked low and slow with a little onion and maybe a bit of bacon—fits right in alongside, or a simple side of sweet corn, either creamed or straight from the cob in summertime. A crisp lettuce salad with a tangy dressing helps cut through the richness, and if you really want to lean into the farmhouse feel, pull out some warm dinner rolls or buttermilk biscuits for sopping up every last bit of sauce.
