Ingredients
- 6 to 8 boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup French onion dip
- 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 can (6 ounce) crispy fried onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- chopped parsley for serving (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and the optional garlic powder.
2. Arrange the seasoned pork chops in the prepared baking dish. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoon of the French onion dip over each pork chop and spread it evenly to cover the top.
3. Cover the dish with foil and bake the pork chops for 25 to 35 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
4. Remove the foil from the dish, then sprinkle the shredded cheese over the pork chops. Top the cheese with the crispy fried onions. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the onions are golden brown.
5. Once the pork chops are ready, let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Notes
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal. Consider using different types of cheese or dips to customize the flavor.
