Common Questions
What types of pork chops will I need for this recipe?
When preparing this simple recipe, it’s best to use boneless center-cut pork chops that are about one-inch thick. If you want to use thinner pork chops, you can do that. You can also use different cuts or even use bone-in chops. However, I’d suggest using boneless because they’re easier to work with and then you don’t have to worry about biting into a bone when eating your chops.
What should I do if I don’t have beef stock?
If you don’t have beef stock, you can combine a beef bouillon cube with water, mix together, and use that as your broth for this dish. You can also use chicken stock as a replacement if you have that and don’t have the beef stock available.
Can I skip the cheese?
Yes! If you don’t like cheese or don’t want to use it on your pork chops, you can skip it instead of adding it. You also have the option of using a different type of cheese over your pork chops, such as cheddar or Swiss, both of which would taste as good as the provolone does when it melts on top of them.
What should I do if I don’t have olive oil?
While olive oil is good to cook with, you can actually use any other type of cooking oil that you have on hand, such as avocado oil, vegetable oil, or even canola oil.
Recipe Notes & Tips
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your pork chops before you remove them from the skillet. The internal temperature should be at 160 degrees F before you serve your meat.
- If you’re not the biggest fan of pork chops, you can prepare this exact meal using the boneless, skinless chicken breast as a replacement for the pork chops.
- Feel free to add additional spices when seasoning your pork chops, such as a bit of garlic powder or some cayenne pepper if you’d like to add a slight kick to the chops.
What to Serve with French Onion Pork Chops
- These pork chops will taste amazing with a homemade baked potato. You can load the potato with some of those caramelized onions and butter for added flavor.
- If you don’t want to have a baked potato, serve these pork chops with your favorite type of pasta, adding melted butter to it for additional flavor.
- The pork chops will also taste great when served with applesauce and veggies, such as corn on the cob or glazed carrots.
How to Store Leftovers
Fridge: Once you’re done preparing your pork chops, cover and store them in the fridge if they won’t be eaten within two days.
Freezer: If you have leftovers and want to save them for later, place them in a freezer-safe container or bag and store them in the freezer for up to three months.
Microwave: Place your pork chops on a plate and heat them up in the microwave for one to two minutes or until they’re warmed all the way through.
Variation Options for French Onion Pork Chops
If you want to change up the flavor profile of these pork chops, try some different variations.
- For example, you can use a different type of cheese like cheddar or Swiss in place of the provolone.
