Ingredients
For the topping: • 1 (6 ounce) package cream cheese, softened • 1/4 cup mayonnaise • 1/2 cup bacon crumbles, cooked and crispy (about 8 slices) • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded For the pork chops: • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil • 2 1/2 pounds pork chops, boneless • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic Optional garnishes: • crumbled bacon • green onionsDirections
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, mix the mayo, cream cheese, bacon crumbles, green onion, and 1/2 of the cheddar cheese, until fully combined. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat on the stove-top.
Season each side of the pork chops with the pepper, salt, and garlic.
Once the oil is hot, cook the pork chops for 1 minute on each side.
Pour the cheese mixture evenly over the pork chops.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 of the shredded cheese over the top, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
Bake until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees F, or until the pork chops are cooked fully through, about 10-14 minutes.
Garnish with additional green onions and bacon, then serve immediately.
