cheesy pork chops recipe

You’re very welcome!

Oh, you’d like to hear the recipe first? 😉

I am so happy to share this one with you. I found it a couple of years ago when I was tired of cooking the same thing all the time, yet I need recipes that are easy and fast. Taste is an added bonus because frankly one of the kids will complain no matter what it is. The first time I made the Cheesy Pork Chops I was blown away.

Just those few ingredients made something this delicious??

Yes it did. And we’ve been in love ever since.

Cheesy Pork Chops

These Cheesy Pork Chops are likely to be a new family favorite! Just a few simple ingredients and you have a perfect weeknight dinner!
Prep Time5 minutes minutes
Cook Time15 minutes minutes
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 10 Boneless pork chops
  • 10 tsp sour cream
  • Seasoning salt
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (I like taco blend, for the little bit of added flavor)

Instructions

  • Line the pan with your chops and sprinkle with your favorite seasoning.
  • Smother with 1 tsp sour cream per chop.
  • Add enough shredded cheese to cover the top.
  • Bake at 350. Adjust the cooking time to the thickness of the meat. Thin pork chops are done in 15 minutes. For an inch and a half of chop, I'd bake for 35 - 40 minutes.

Ready to eat out of the oven.

I know, right? Too easy to be delicious. Surprisingly, it’s not!

(Although did you notice that one sad naked pork chop? Yes, one child out of 5 still complains about “stuff” on her meat. That’s fine, it’s easy to just leave one alone!

Everyone’s happy! Especially mom!

    YUMMY!!! I was at first a little skeptical because cheese and sour cream don’t really top my list of things to add to pork chops. I usually just pan fry them and add dill. This was a hit with my 7 year old and I can’t wait for lunch tomorrow….Easy clean up and easy tummy pleaser. Thanks for sharing.

    I made these & got the reaction that every cook dreams of. My son, who loves to talk, took a bite & refused to speak until he finished eating it! He said that he’s never tasted something that was so good that he didn’t want to ruin the moment. Yep, it’s a keeper! Thank you
