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. 

1. You can swap the dip for sour cream and then season it with a portion of a classic French onion soup package.
2. To keep things on the healthier side, you could also add French onion soup to plain Greek yogurt as well. 
3. 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: 

1. White rice
2. Green beans
3. Creamy mashed potatoes
