How to Make Prudhomme's Baked Pork Chops With Onion Gravy

In a bowl, combine all seasoning mix ingredients (see ingredient list for quantities).
Generously sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly on both sides of each pork chop, ensuring complete coverage.
Cover the seasoned pork chops and refrigerate overnight for optimal flavor (optional, not included in prep time).
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat 1 tablespoon of margarine in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until melted and shimmering.
Add pork chops in batches to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Sear until nicely browned on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
Transfer the browned pork chops to a large baking pan.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of margarine over medium-high heat.
Add 2 cups of thinly sliced onions and sauté until dark golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning (about 8-10 minutes).
Add the remaining 2 cups of thinly sliced onions and cook until softened and translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the onions. Remove from heat and immediately spoon the onion mixture over the browned pork chops in the baking pan.
Pour 1 cup of chicken stock or beef broth around the edges of the baking pan. Seal the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes before serving over rice or mashed potatoes. Garnish as desired.
