Tips and tricks for making juicy pork chops with simple ingredients: 

Type of pork to use for this easy meal:

I enjoy using the boneless pork chops, but you can also use bone-in chops, pork loin, or thick cut pork chops. However, you will need to adjust the bake time if you choose to use something other than boneless chops.

French onion dip substitutes: 

If you don’t love French onion dip or don’t have any on hand there are a few other options to try. 

  1. You can swap the dip for sour cream and then season it with a portion of a classic French onion soup package.
  2. To keep things on the healthier side, you could also add French onion soup to plain Greek yogurt as well. 
  3. Mayo is also a delicious way to coat the sides of the pork chops before you add the French onions to the pork.

Tasty side dishes to serve with thick pork chops: 

  1. White rice
  2. Green beans
  3. Creamy mashed potatoes

    I’m very rarely comment on any recipes on any sites and this is one of our favorites but we don’t ever use French onion so I just cut up regular onions and did the same thing and they are so good
