French Onion Pork Chops

These pork chops are tender and juicy with a rich beef stock and red wine sauce with caramelized onions. You will want to be sure to use sweet onions in this recipe, the extra sugars in them will help them caramelize in about 25-30 minutes, remember to be patient! If you cannot find fontina cheese feel free to use mozzarella or your favorite white melting cheese. I like to serve this with French bread and a green salad for a filling meal. I hope you all enjoy this recipe, don’t forget to rate and comment if you make it!
