RANCH HOUSE CROCK POT PORK CHOPS W/ PARMESAN MASHED POTATOES



Ranch House Crock Pot Pork Chops W/ Parmesan Mashed Potatoes image

This is a hugely popular slow cooker recipe originating on Picky Palate's blog. By many who have made this, it's been suggested to add 2 cans of soup for additional gravy, but do NOT increase the Ranch Dressing Seasoning for it will become too intensely flavored. Many recipes are out there for roasting garlic. I simply put the cloves in a square of foil, drizzle with olive oil, seal and bake in a toaster oven for about 20 minutes or until soft and golden.

6 cloves roasted garlic
1 -1 1/2 cup warm milk
1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Place pork chops, Ranch seasoning and soup into a medium sized crock pot over high heat for 4 hours or low heat for 6 hours. (This may take less time than allowed. Check prior to end time so as not to overcook.).
  • Place potatoes into a large pot of cold water. Place onto stovetop over high heat and bring to a boil. Once water is boiling, cook for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Drain and transfer to the work bowl of a stand or electric mixer. Mix on low until potatoes are mashed then add butter, parmesan, garlic, milk, salt and pepper. Season to taste if needed. For thinner mashed potatoes add more milk, slowly until your desired consitency.
  • Serve chops with gravy over the parmesan potatoes.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a thick-cut pork chop. This will help to ensure that the pork chop is juicy and tender.
  • To make sure the pork chop is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the pork chop by cutting into it. The pork chop is cooked through when the juices run clear.
  • To make the pork chop even more flavorful, you can marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs. Just make sure to toast them in a pan with a little bit of butter or olive oil before using them.
  • To make the pork chop even more crispy, you can double-coat it in the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Serve the pork chop with your favorite pasta sauce and a side of vegetables.
