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:

1. Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, set saide. Cut the onions in half and slice them about ¼ inch thick to create half circles.
2. Caramelize Onions: In a large cast iron, or oven safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions into the pan, sauté the onions stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 20-30 minutes.
3. Sear the Pork Chops: Once the onions have caramelized remove them from the pan, add the pork chops to the pan and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
4. Start the Sauce: Remove the pork chops from the pan and add the onions back in. Whisk in the flour to create a thick paste. Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking continually to avoid lumps developing. Remove from heat.
5. Add Pork Chops to Pan with Sauce: Whisk in the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Add the pork chops back to the pan and then coat in the sauce. Then cover each pork chop with one slice of swiss and one slice of gruyere cheese.
