RANCH HOUSE CROCK POT PORK CHOPS W/ PARMESAN MASHED POTATOES
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.

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 optimal results, select pork chops that are 1 inch thick. Thinner chops may overcook and become dry in the slow cooker.
- Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper before searing. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Sear the pork chops in a skillet over medium-high heat until they are browned on both sides. This will help to lock in their juices and prevent them from becoming dry in the slow cooker.
- Use a combination of chicken broth and cream of mushroom soup as the liquid for the slow cooker. This will create a flavorful and creamy sauce for the pork chops.
- Add vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions to the slow cooker along with the pork chops. This will add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
- Cook the pork chops on low for 6-8 hours, or until they are tender and cooked through. The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- To make the parmesan mashed potatoes, start by boiling potatoes until they are tender. Then, mash the potatoes with butter, milk, salt, pepper, and grated parmesan cheese.
- Serve the pork chops with the parmesan mashed potatoes and your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Ranch Crock Pot Pork Chops and Parmesan Mashed Potatoes is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and flavorful, and the parmesan mashed potatoes are creamy and cheesy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
