Steps:
- Season both sides of pork chops with garlic powder, sage, thyme, salt and pepper.
- Melt 2 tbs. butter in a large skillet over medium heat, evenly coating the bottom of the skillet.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Cook both sides of chops for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned. (Note: It is okay if the chops are not completely done, as there is more cooking time to come.).
- Push chops to outside edges of skillet. Melt the remaining 1 tbs. butter in the center of the skillet and add onions to the center of the skillet, sprinkling with sugar.
- Replace skillet cover and cook for 10 minutes, frequently tossing and stirring onions with a spatula. Onions are caramelized when tender and medium-brown in color. My husband prefers cooking them until slightly burned, as the flavor intensifies. (Note: Don't forget to watch your chops to make sure they don't burn.).
- Check chops for doneness before serving. They will be done when a fork piercing the thickest part of the chop draws clear juice. If the juice is pink, cook chops a bit longer until done. (Note: Make sure to watch onions, so they don't burn.).
- Serve pork chops with caramelized onions piled on top.

Tips:
- To ensure the veal chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the veal chops by cutting into one of them. The meat should be slightly pink in the center for medium-rare or cooked through for medium.
- To caramelize the onions, cook them over low heat for a long period of time. This will allow the onions to develop a deep, rich flavor.
- If the onions start to stick to the pan, add a little bit of water or white wine. This will help to deglaze the pan and prevent the onions from burning.
- Serve the veal chops with the caramelized onions and your favorite sides. Some popular sides for veal chops include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and green beans.
Conclusion:
Veal chops with caramelized onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The veal chops are tender and juicy, and the caramelized onions add a sweet and savory flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
