  • 4 beef chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

  6. Place the seared beef chops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread an even layer of the spinach-cheese mixture on top of each beef chop.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until the beef chops are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
