Ingredients for French Onion Pork Chops
- Meat: I like to use boneless pork chops for this recipe
- Sauce: when making this you will need your favorite French onion dip (I enjoy using the Lays French onion dip you can find in the chip aisle)
- Cheese: use shredded sharp cheddar cheese or mild cheddar cheese depending on your preference
- Topping: using the crispy fried onions gives this recipe a delicious crunch from the onion mixture
How to make this baked French Onion Pork Chops:
Preheat oven to 350℉.
Add the pork chops to a greased 9×13 baking dish, placing them side by side. Spread the French onion dip evenly over the tops of the pork chops.
Sprinkle the cheese over the French onion dip, then sprinkle the crispy fried onions on top of the cheese.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145℉ using a meat thermometer. Enjoy!
How to store leftover baked pork chops:
Fridge: Place any leftover pork chops in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days for the best texture and to make sure they are still perfectly juicy.
Tips and tricks for making juicy pork chops with simple ingredients:
Type of pork to use for this easy meal:
I enjoy using the boneless pork chops, but you can also use bone-in chops, pork loin, or thick cut pork chops. However, you will need to adjust the bake time if you choose to use something other than boneless chops.
French onion dip substitutes:
If you don’t love French onion dip or don’t have any on hand there are a few other options to try.
- You can swap the dip for sour cream and then season it with a portion of a classic French onion soup package.
- To keep things on the healthier side, you could also add French onion soup to plain Greek yogurt as well.
- Mayo is also a delicious way to coat the sides of the pork chops before you add the French onions to the pork.
Tasty side dishes to serve with thick pork chops:
- White rice
- Green beans
- Creamy mashed potatoes

Can you make these in the slow cooker?
I do not prefer boneless pork chops so I made it with bone-in chops and it was delicious.
This was pretty good, but I think it would be even better with chicken! I will try it next time with chicken. Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
Just made this with chicken breasts.Didn’t have French’s Crispy Onions so I crushed up a ½ box of chicken flavored stovetop, mixed it with a tblsp melted butter and sprinkled that over top.Didn’t have ALOT of super onion-y flavor, but it was still pretty darn yummy! I did pound out my chicken breasts a bit thinner AND covered with foil for 1st 20-25min(did bake at 350° tho)then did another 10-15 min without foil to brown up n crisp the topping.Had the PERFECT amount of crunch imo!Was really good and I WILL try with the chops next time.THANK YOU JULIA!!(& other commenters for inspo)
I made these tonight. So easy and SO GOOD!!!! Thank you!
That was delicious! The only thing I didn’t have was the French onion dip but I did have enough sour cream. So I put onion powder, garlic powder, and salt/pepper on top of to make it like the French onion dip. I also had pork tenderloin and cut it into pork chops. My husband said it was incredible! And he doesn’t like pork tenderloin at all. Thank you Julia for saving pork tenderloin 😄
This was so good! It was easy to put together and even my autistic son who is sensitive to textures loved it.
Loved the flavor! So easy!
Loved the flavor! I also put foil over and would use thinner pork chops to keep them tender. The thick ones were chewy. Going to try chicken with it next!
I made these used slightly Thicker ones . Came out moist and flavorful and delicious. 10/10 will make again
I like watching your u-tube videos, and then look for your recipes online. Thank you for posting your recipes online so they maybe printed off and enjoyed.
I’ve made this three times now – I LOVE the flavor, but for some reason mine ALWAYS comes out watery on the bottom!! What am I doing wrong??
We loved it!! Will also try with chicken.
Oh my GOOOOODNESSSSS!!! I just tried this with chicken to use up the rest of the dip and the crispy onions I had from last week!!!!!!! YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY THIS WITH CHICKEN BREAST!!! It was FAB!U!LOUS!!!!! I am such a dinner hero today!!! 😀 THANK YOU, JULIA!!!!
Very yummy! And super easy.
My husband made these and what a blast! Loved them, especially with the pork chops. Thanks for such a quick, simple, and delicious recipe!
We don’t have the onion dip in Norway, so I have found a recipe online. Is there enough seasoning in the dip to flavor the chops? There’s no seasoning listed in your recipe. It probably depends on the dip, I guess.
Love your recipes!
I made this with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it was delicious! The chicken was moist and the topping was crunchy and full of flavor. Great recipe!
I JUST made this! It’s OK with chops….but “I” think this would be AMAZING wirh chicken tenders! !!!!! 🙂 the topping and dip/”sauce” is great 🙂 but my personal preference chops kinda chewy 4 me,nit too bad though 🙂 plus, I put foil over mine after 30 min or so,bcuz my onions were getting too brown..so I would cover w foil 1st 20 min. And use chicken tenders, “maybe” less cook time w tenders? 🙂 but all N all…I DO think the flavor was spot on! 😉
Love this recipe it was so delicious. Pork chops were so tender. Thank you, 😊
Have you ever tried this with boneless skinless chicken breasts? Not a huge fan of pork so was just curious!
