Pork Chops: Either bone-in or boneless pork chops will work, just adjust your cook time. Bone-in will take a little longer to cook. Yellow Onions: Our favorite type of onions to caramelize for balanced sweet-savory flavor. Butter: For caramelizing the onions. Garlic: Adds depth of flavor and complexity. Beef Broth: Gives the gravy a nice consistency while adding flavor. All-Purpose Flour: The thickening agent for the creamy sauce. Worcestershire Sauce: Flavors of vinegar, garlic, chiles, molasses and more give the sauce a fantastic umami taste. Herbs: Fresh thyme and fresh rosemary add freshness and extra flavor. Salt and Pepper: Season to taste and enhance all of the flavors! Cheese: Add Swiss cheese and gruyere cheese over the top of the chicken and bake to create the perfect melty cheese crust.
How to Make French Onion Pork Chops
French onion pork chops are not only easy to make, but everything is made in one pan for a hassle-free meal! The taste is so good too! Here’s the very simple process:
Pork Chops: Bring meat to room temperature and pat them dry before seasoning and cooking. They are full cooked when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Caramelizing Onions: Caramelizing onions takes quite a bit of time, just remember to be patient and keep stirring them consistently. This How to Caramelize Onions is a post that can tell you in depth how to do it in case you have any questions! Don’t Wipe Out the Pan: After cooking the onions and searing the pork, leave any drippings and brown pieces in the pan because they will add great flavor to the gravy. You may even want to scrape them off the bottom with your spatula to be sure they get incorporated into the sauce. Cheese: If preferred, you can just use one type of cheese instead of both the Swiss and gruyere. Parmesan cheese or provolone cheese are also good substitutes, if that’s what you have available.
In the Refrigerator: Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To Reheat: When you’re ready to enjoy later, rewarm over the stove on low heat or in the microwave!
