Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless pork chops about 1-inch thick
  • 1 ounce ranch dressing mix
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • Meat Thermometer
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix, mayonnaise, and milk until smooth.
  3. Season pork chops lightly with salt and pepper, if desired. (Note: Ranch dressing mix already contains salt, so be cautious.)
  4. Place pork chops in the baking dish.
  5. Pour the ranch dressing mixture evenly over the pork chops.
  6. Top each pork chop generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Use a meat thermometer for best results.
  8. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Notes

For best results, use freshly shredded cheddar cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains cellulose, which can inhibit melting. Be cautious when adding salt, as the ranch dressing mix already contains salt. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
