A staple in my kitchen is onion soup mix, however, I have never actually made it into soup! Instead, I use it for one of my favorite childhood recipes, Grilled Onion Pork Chops.
This little wonder of dehydrated spices and onion is a wonderful time saver when making marinades, tasty hamburger patties or roasting up a batch of potatoes. I’m sure Lipton makes a fortune, but I’m here to tell you that it is SO easy to make at home and use for every single recipe they use it in.
Grilled Onion Pork Chops are easy to assemble the night before and then throw on the grill fast the next night, although you can marinate for as little as an hour. I served these pork chops with cauliflower puree and tarragon peas and carrots.
- 4-6 boneless pork chops
- 1 batch onion soup mix*
- ¾ cup water
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- Cooking Spray
- Place all ingredients into a large airtight plastic bag. Marinate pork chops 1- 24 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 20 minutes prior to grilling to not shock the meat.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray.
- Grill on each side for 10 minutes. Pork needs to be served well done, so while some consider it cheating, I still feel better if I cut into the center of one to make sure there is no remaining pink. This cut of meat should cook relatively fast because they are thin and uniform in size.
- Remove from the grill and enjoy!
