Baked Chops and Fries

This is a wonderful meal that I thought was going to be a total disaster (it almost was). I think I've worked out most of the bugs though. It is a creamy casserole with pork chops, potatoes, and green beans. What more could you want??? (Sorry, the pictures I took were just too bad to post)
Baked Chops with Fries
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp paprika
4 pork chops (1 inch or thinner, bone in or boneless)
2 tbsp. veg oil
1 can cream of celery (or mushroom) soup
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. dried parsley
4 cups frozen steak fries, thawed
2 cans green beans, drained
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine salt, pepper, and paprika; sprinkle over both sides of chops. In a large skillet, cook chops in oil on both sides until just done (don't over cook). Remove chops and keep warm. Drain skillet, then combine soup, sour cream, milk and parsley in the skillet. Cook and stir until heated through (shouldn't take long). In a greased 11x7x2inch dish, lay the fries in a single layer on bottom. Spread green beans over top of the potatoes. Pour the soup mixture over the green beans as evenly as possible. Top with cooked chops. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake 5 more minutes or until meat is tender and vegetables are heated through.
