Possible Ingredient Alternatives
For a leaner option, boneless pork chops can be replaced with boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Use the same quantity and adjust cooking time as needed, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Sour cream dip can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a tangier, protein-rich alternative. Use the same amount, but expect a slightly different texture and flavor profile. For a dairy-free version, consider using a cashew-based cream sauce. To replace the crunchy French fried onions, try crushed pork rinds for a low-carb option or panko breadcrumbs mixed with onion powder for a similar texture and flavor. Adjust the quantity to achieve the desired level of crunch and onion flavor.

Ingredients
- 8 boneless pork chops
- 1 (8 oz) tub of sour cream dip* (refer to note 1)
- 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 3 oz crunchy french fried onions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
This ensures that the oven is at the right temperature for baking your dish to perfection.
Step 2: Prepare the Pork Chops
Place the pork chops at the bottom of a 9×13 baking pan.
Spread the sour cream dip evenly over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated for maximum flavor.
Step 3: Add Cheese and Onions
Evenly sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top of the sour cream dip.
Following this, spread the French fried onions over the cheese layer, making sure they cover the pork chops uniformly for that crunchy texture.
Step 4: Bake the Dish
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes.
The pork chops should reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, or cook them to your preferred level of doneness for optimal taste and safety.
Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Step 5: Serve
Once baked to perfection, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Serve the cheesy, crispy topped pork chops warm, perhaps alongside your favorite side dishes.
