Lipton Onion Soup Pork Chops

 The final product goes great with rice-a-roni. Like my lame attempts at photography? At least my plate looks cute...

Ingredients:

3 pork chops

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (the kind in the can)

2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped

1 ounce Lipton Onion Soup Mix (1/2 packet)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350*.

Rinse, then dry pork chops. Place in aluminum foil covered dish (spray dish with oil before to prevent sticking).

Liberally season both sides of chops with salt, pepper, and Lipton mix. Top each chop with mayonnaise, then parmesan. Finish off by sprinkling onions on top. Going into the oven it should look something like this:

Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it so as not to overcook and dry out the meat.

My tips:

-Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush over each side of the chops for extra flavor. We're too young to worry about cholesterol!

-Use the whole soup packet, not just a half. It gives a better flavor.

-Put mayonnaise, parmesan, and onions on both sides--not just the top.

-If you have a low-quality oven like me, it may take longer than 20 minutes. I suggest cutting open the chops halfway through to allow it to cook more evenly. I also turned up the oven to 375* for the last 10 minutes.

-Use grated parmesan, not the kind from the can. It gives it a different texture, and tastes just as good.

-Lastly, use dry onion flakes, instead of fresh, like the ones in the picture below. I do this for almost every recipe that calls for onions. Mostly because I can't ever use a whole onion before it goes bad. And also, dry onions have a stronger taste and I personally prefer it.

Enjoy!
