- 1 packet ranch salad dressing mix
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Paprika, for sprinkling
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius). This ensures that your pork chops cook evenly and develop a delicious crust. |
| 2 | Prepare Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the ranch salad dressing mix with black pepper. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed. |
| 3 | Coat Pork Chops: Take each pork chop and generously rub the seasoning mixture on both sides. Ensure that the seasoning coats the meat evenly for maximum flavor. |
| 4 | Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned pork chops in a single layer on a baking pan or broiler rack. This allows for even cooking and ensures that each pork chop gets crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside. |
| 5 | Sprinkle with Paprika: Once the pork chops are arranged, sprinkle them lightly with paprika. This adds a hint of smokiness and enhances the overall flavor of the dish. |
| 6 | Bake: Transfer the baking pan to the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius). |
| 7 | Serve: Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and flavorful pork chops with every bite. |
| 8 | Enjoy: Serve your Ranch Pork Chops hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, |
