French Onion Pork Chops
Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds thin-cut boneless pork chops
1-ounce packet of Lipton French Onion dip mix
12 ounces sour cream
6 ounces crispy fried onions
Instructions:
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s time to get that oven nice and toasty for our culinary masterpiece!
In a mixing bowl, let’s work some magic by combining the sour cream and Lipton French Onion dip mix. Mix until they’re all cozy and well blended – this is where the flavor party starts!
Now, grab your trusty casserole dish and place the thin-cut pork chops in a single layer. For an extra flavor boost, you can spread some of the sour cream mixture on the bottom of the dish as well. We want those pork chops to be coated in deliciousness from all sides!
Next, spread the sour cream and French onion dip mixture evenly over the pork chops. Get creative and dollop the mixture on each chop so that every bite is bursting with flavor.
Sprinkle the crispy fried onions on top of the mixture, covering the pork chops completely. This is where the magic happens – those crispy onions will add a delightful crunch and flavor to every bite.
Cover your casserole dish with aluminum foil and pop it into the preheated oven. Let it bake away for 30 minutes, allowing all those delicious flavors to meld together.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and let the pork chops bake for an additional 15-30 minutes, or until they’re cooked through and the fried onions are golden brown and crispy.
Once your French Onion Pork Chops are done baking, it’s time to serve up the deliciousness! Plate them hot and enjoy alongside your favorite sides for a meal that’s sure to impress.
So there you have it – a mouthwatering dish that’s as easy to make as it is delicious.
