Spread these 3 ingredients over pork chops in a baking dish for a low carb bake that’s deeply satisfying
Variations & Tips
To make this even more weeknight-friendly, you can prep the cream cheese mixture in the morning or the night before and store it in the fridge—then all you have to do is season the pork, spread, top with cheese, and bake. If you prefer bone-in pork chops, you can absolutely use them; just add 5–10 minutes to the baking time and keep an eye on the internal temperature. For extra veggies built right into the dish, scatter a cup of sliced mushrooms, a handful of baby spinach, or some thinly sliced bell peppers around the pork chops before adding the sauce. You can also play with the cheese: swap cheddar for pepper jack if you like a little kick, or use all mozzarella for a milder flavor. If you’re watching dairy, reduce the cheese by half and use full-fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a bit more protein. For a one-pan meal, nestle some lightly seasoned cauliflower florets or green beans around the pork chops so they roast in the cheesy sauce while everything bakes. Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave, and are great sliced over a salad for an easy next-day lunch.
