TIPS FOR THIS SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS RECIPE:
Use the finest watching pork chops you possibly can find. I always get mine from the butcher counter, as these are largely thicker and much less fatty than those pre-packaged out within the store. We’re utilizing primary foods here, so high caliber is key.
When you first positioned the sliced onions within the skillet, it’ll seem like you've got WAY too many. Don’t worry, they practice dinner down considerably.
You don’t ought to completely caramelize the onions, they maintain cooking during the relaxation of the recipe process. You method them very mushy and golden brown, no longer deep brown like normal caramelized onions.
The contemporary thyme sprigs are optional, but completely recommended… it’s a huge style and fairly brings residence further of the French onion style profile.
Don’t fear about merely cooking the pork chops simply several minutes per side. They’ll maintain cooking because the dish is baked later, and also you fairly merely desire to practice dinner pork to 140-145 F degrees. It ought to have a mild blush of pink. Pink is GOOD with pork, it capacity the chops will nonetheless be juicy and tender, no longer difficult and leathery.
