Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | boneless pork chops |
| 4 | milk |
| 1 | paprika |
| 3/4 | rice |
| 1 | Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup |
| ranch salad dressing mix | |
| oil |
Instructions:
-
Heat oil in skillet: Begin by heating oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring it’s adequately hot before proceeding.
-
Brown the chops: Add the boneless pork chops to the skillet, allowing them to cook until they achieve a golden brown hue on both sides. This process infuses them with a rich, savory flavor.
-
Prepare the sauce: Once the pork chops are suitably browned, introduce Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup, milk, and half of the ranch salad dressing mix to the skillet. This combination forms the luscious sauce that will coat the pork chops, imparting a creamy and tangy essence.
-
Bring to a boil: Increase the heat to bring the sauce to a gentle boil, allowing all the flavors to meld together harmoniously. This step is crucial for achieving optimal flavor infusion.
-
Simmer: Once the sauce reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Allow the pork chops to simmer in the creamy sauce for approximately 10 minutes or until they are thoroughly cooked and tender. This slow cooking process ensures that the pork chops absorb all the delectable flavors of the sauce, resulting in irresistible tenderness.
-
Sprinkle with paprika: Just before serving, sprinkle a generous amount of paprika over the pork chops. This adds a vibrant burst of color and a subtle smokiness to the dish, enhancing its visual appeal and flavor profile.
-
Prepare the Ranch-Style Rice: While the pork chops are simmering, prepare the accompanying Ranch-Style Rice. Simply add the remaining ranch salad dressing mix to the water when cooking the rice. This simple addition elevates the humble rice to a flavorful and aromatic side dish that perfectly complements the creamy pork chops.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the pork chops are cooked to perfection and the rice is fluffy and infused with ranch flavor, it’s time to plate up! Serve the creamy ranch pork chops alongside the Ranch-Style Rice for a complete and satisfying meal that will surely please the entire family.
With its creamy texture, savory flavor, and quick preparation time, this Creamy Ranch Pork Chops & Rice recipe is destined to become a weeknight favorite in your household. Embrace the simplicity and deliciousness of this dish, and enjoy a memorable dining experience with your loved ones! 🍽️
