These easy Caramelized Onion Pork Chops call for ingredients you already have in your pantry, and they are so tasty!plate with Pork Chops with onions, mashed potatoes, and peas
I am pretty new to cooking with pork, but apparently the rest of you love pork chops. My parmesan crusted pork chop recipe is one of the most popular recipes on my site, and the crock pot ranch pork chops are right up there. 

I figured I better start sharing a few more pork chop recipes to keep everyone happy!  🙂

plate with pork chop, mashed potatoes, and peas

These pork chops could not be easier to make. Basically the only thing you have to do is slice an onion. And that onion adds an incredible amount of flavor to these chops! This is the first time I have ever caramelized onions at home, but it won’t be the last. They are so tasty!

You can use boneless or bone-in pork chops for this recipe. I used boneless because I like the convenience, but the bone in variety is actually more flavorful and tender. Use whatever you prefer!

Looking for a few more ways to serve pork? Here’s a few ideas:

  • Ranch Crock Pot Pork Chops
  • Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops
  • Best Ever Grilled Pork Chops
  • Crock Pot Pulled Pork
