What’s in Cheesy Sour Cream Baked Pork Chops?

Ingredients

You only need simple ingredients for this sour cream pork chop recipe:

• Pork chops – Bone-in pork chops are recommended as they tend to be juicier and more flavorful than loin chops, plus they’re often less expensive
• Seasoned salt – Adds complex flavors and enhances the natural taste of the pork; salt and pepper work perfectly if you don’t have seasoned salt on hand
• Sour cream – Creates the creamy base that keeps the pork chops moist and adds tangy richness
• Cheddar cheese – Provides sharp, nutty flavors and creates the golden, bubbly topping; Swiss or Colby cheese also work wonderfully

Ingredient Notes

These pork chops can be made with boneless pork chops or bone-in pork chops. I often let the grocery store prices dictate what I am going to buy I like to use pork chops that are about 3/8-inch thick for these, as they cook up in a reasonable amount of time.

Use regular sour cream for best results. Light or fat-free sour cream usually do not hold up the same when baking it as a sauce topping.

I recommend grating the cheddar cheese instead of using pre-shredded. Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that keep it from melting as smooth as freshly grated.

If you don’t have cheddar on hand, Swiss cheese is also fantastic.

What can you serve with these pork chops?

These pork chops can be made in under 30 minutes, and that’s from start to finish. Most of that time, the pork chops are going to be baking away in the oven.

While they are baking, you could make steakhouse mashed potatoes or even a nice rice pilaf, and you practically have a meal ready.

If you are on a low-carb or keto diet, you could make oven-roasted Brussels sprouts, baked broccoli and cheese, or garlic green beans.

Storage & Reheating Instructions

• Refrigerator Storage: Store leftover pork chops in airtight containers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent flavors from mixing with other foods.
• Reheating Method: Reheat in a 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F, or microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes.
• Freezing: Wrap cooled pork chops individually and store in the freezer for up to 2 months in airtight containers or freezer bags.
