French Onion Smothered Pork Chops
Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Nature seasoning (or a blend of herbs like thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder)
- Ranch seasoning (optional, for added flavor)
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups French fried onions
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Season the Pork Chops:
- Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, nature seasoning, and ranch seasoning. Ensure the chops are evenly coated on both sides.
- Coat with Sour Cream:
- Generously coat each pork chop with sour cream, ensuring an even layer. The sour cream adds richness and moisture to the dish.
- Layer with Shredded Cheddar:
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each pork chop, covering them entirely. The cheese will melt and create a gooey, flavorful topping.
- Top with French Fried Onions:
- Generously layer French fried onions on top of the cheese. The crispy onions will add a delicious crunch and French onion flavor.
- Arrange in Baking Dish:
- Place the pork chops in a baking dish, ensuring they are not crowded. This allows even cooking and ensures a golden-brown crust.
- Bake in the Oven:
- Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to an hour or until the internal temperature reaches a safe level for pork (at least 145°F or 63°C).
- Check for Doneness:
- Ensure the pork chops are cooked through, and the cheese is melted and bubbly, while the French fried onions are golden brown.
- Serve Hot:
- Remove the pork chops from the oven, let them rest for a few minutes, and then serve them hot.
- Optional Garnish:
- Garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
- Pairing Suggestion:
- Serve the French Onion Smothered Pork Chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
- Enjoy your Flavorful Creation:
- Dive into the delicious combination of seasoned pork, creamy sour cream, melted cheddar, and crispy French fried onions. Each bite is a delightful blend of textures and flavors.
