Ingredients
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with Season-All.
- Coat both sides of the pork chops with sour cream.
- Dip the coated pork chops into the cornflake crumbs, ensuring both sides are covered.
- Place the coated pork chops on a cookie sheet sprayed lightly with Pam.
- Bake at 325°F for 45 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in a mixture of garlic and herbs for a couple of hours before seasoning with Season-All. If you don’t have cornflake crumbs, crushed crackers or panko breadcrumbs can serve as a great substitute. Always check the internal temperature of pork chops to ensure they reach 145°F for safe consumption.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Denver Pork Chops with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with mashed potatoes or rice, allowing you to soak up the creamy texture of the sour cream coating. For a refreshing drink, consider serving with Michelle'S Sparkling Berry Punch.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. This helps retain their moisture, making them more enjoyable than microwaving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in pork chops instead of boneless?
Yes, bone-in pork chops can be used, but you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly as they can take longer to cook through. Ensure they reach the safe internal temperature of 145°F before serving.
What can I substitute for sour cream?
Greek yogurt makes an excellent substitute for sour cream, providing a similar tangy flavor and creamy texture. You could also use mayonnaise in a pinch, but the flavor will be slightly different.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add some heat, consider mixing a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder into the Season-All before applying it to the pork chops. Alternatively, serve them with a spicy dipping sauce on the side for an extra kick.
