Key Ingredients:

Every ingredient in this dish contributes to creating its aggressively savory punch and toothsome texture:

Thin-Cut Boneless Pork Chops: Thin-cut chops cook fast while retaining tenderness in the oven. If your chops are thicker, you might want to sear them on the stovetop, then bake for longer to cook through completely.

French Onion Soup Mix: Use this soup mix for depth and flavor in all the seasonings. It’s readily available in the soup aisle of most grocery stores, but you can make your own with dried onion flakes, onion powder, garlic powder and a dusting of beef bouillon powder.

Sour Cream: Sour Cream provides a creamy tang in the dish. If you want a lighter option with some extra protein, Greek yogurt will act as a substitute.

Crispy Fried Onions: These crispy fried onions give the sour cream mixture a crunchy, golden topping. Use store-bought crispy fried onions, or make them yourself by frying thinly sliced onions until crisp.

Layer the Pork Chops

Place the pork chops in one even layer in a casserole dish.

Coat the Pork Chops

Dollop the prepared sour cream mixture on the pork chops and even out between them, making sure they are covered with the sour cream mixture.

Add the Topping

Bake the Pork Chops

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil to prevent the pork chops from drying, and put the casserole in the preheated oven.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Finish Baking

Take off the foil and bake for another 15 to 30 minutes. This lets the pork chops cook through and the onions caramelize so they’re golden and crispy.

Rice Pilaf: A light, airy rice pilaf counteracts the savory flavors in the dish and absorbs the creamy sauce well.

Crisp Green Salad: Combining mixed greens, sweet, ripe cherry tomatoes and a light vinaigrette make for a refreshing contrast to the creamy, savory pork chops.

Storage and Reheating Tips:

Leftover Notes

Because this dish tastes fantastic, I wanted to include some tips on how to save and heat it for future enjoyment. The left over pork chop should be placed in the refrigerator in an airtight container and consumed within three days.

Although freezing is feasible, the sauce might split slightly due to freezing it If freezing the chops, cover each with plastic cloak tightly and place them in a freezer container meal that is suitable for up to 2 months.

Refrigeration

The best way to heat the leftovers is genuinely to put the leftover pork chop in a preheated 350F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until nicely warmed through. Microwave 1-2 minutes for a single portion on medium, but be aware that the texture may become a little soft.
