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.
