Variations and Tips to Recipe

• Make sure the pork chops are in a single layer. Otherwise the pork will not cook up evenly and you could have some areas that overlap don’t cook all the way through.
• Add on a layer of cheese on top of the pork chops. Mozzarella cheese or provolone cheese would pair nicely with the flavors of French onion soup. The cheese melts on top of each pork chop but won’t brown up. We recommend grating fresh cheese instead of slice of cheese pre-cut, as they contain extra starches.
• The creamy gravy in the pan is. Spoon onion mixture on top of the pork chops for a flavorful gravy to pair with the chops.
• We used a thicker cut pork chops. It was about 1 1/2 inch thick, but depending on thickness of the pork, the cook time will vary.
• You can grease your baking dish with cooking oil before you start if you want. It will help prevent sticking. Or even use a cast iron skillet to bake them in.
• You can use boneless chops if you want, just adjust the cook time if the chops are thinner.
• Add some sliced onions on the bottom of the pan, this will add more flavor. Use a white or yellow onion and slice thinly. The onions will break down as it bakes.

Sides To Pair With Pork Chops

Not sure what to serve as your usual sides for this dish? We love to do a vegetable side dish. Peas is what we chose but you could do almost any side dish. Cucumber and onionsvegetable salad roasted broccoli, the possibilities are endless.

We have even served scalloped potatoes on the side for special occasions when we are wanting to elevate the dinner. But both are a bit heavy so we only do that on special occasions. Pair with any of your easy weeknight plate that the whole family will enjoy.

Storing Leftovers

Refrigerate any leftovers you don’t eat right away. These baked pork chops can store for 3-4 days in the fridge. Then just reheat in the microwave, or opt to cook them in the oven.

If you heat up in the oven, make sure to cover the pan with foil if you reheat in the oven. This will help prevent the pork chops from drying out.

The internal temperature of fully cooked pork is 145 degrees F. Make sure to use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. Do not touch the bone or it will give a false reading.

Cooking pork slowly is going to give your pork a tender result. Now, you can also marinate the pork in a citrus marinade depending on the flavors you want. This will also help to tenderize the pork.
