Seriously Delicious!......SERIOUSLY

I am NOT kidding!  You need to make this dish.  Your family will adore you, they will beg you to make it again. And again.  And again. It is that good.


I started with this recipe and mainly followed it, but added a couple twists.

Ranch House Crock Pot Pork Chops with Parmesan Mashed Potatoes
9 boneless pork loin tenderloin sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 packet dry Ranch Dressing Seasoning
2 10 oz can Cream of Chicken Soup

1/2 cup dried minced onion (or fresh, but I'd use a whole cup fresh)
4 lbs peeled, cubed potatoes
1 stick real butter
2 cups grated mild cheddar cheese
1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 head roasted garlic (directions are below)
Garlic salt
1 ½  Cups warm half and half
1 Tablespoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper, or to taste



Layer pork chops, 1/3 Ranch seasoning, about 1/4 tsp garlic salt and 1/3 of the soup and onion into a medium sized crock pot. Continue until all the pork is layered in 3 layers over high heat for 4 hours or low heat for 6 hours. (I added about 3/4 can of water to my soup to make it spread more readily)
About 1 hour before dinner, peel and cube potatoes.
Place potatoes into a large pot of cold water. Place onto stove top 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. Melt butter and warm half and half in the microwave.  Mash potatoes, add remaining ingredients and mix on low until potatoes are mashed and creamy.  Season to taste if needed. For thinner mashed potatoes add more milk, slowly until your desired consistency.
Scoop mashed potatoes onto serving plates and top with pork chops and soup gravy from crock pot. I put a little parsley on top to serve.
Roasted Garlic
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place bulb of garlic with skins on, wrap lightly in tin foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove from foil and let cool for 15 minutes. Remove garlic from skins, place in a bowl and mash with a fork until completely mashed. Set aside. One garlic bulb will have around 12 cloves.

  8. I am sad because that looks so good, but I can't immediately see how to make it dairy free. I'll keep brainstorming on it, but the cream of chicken soup is hard to replace with something else. Goat milk and cheese will work for much of the other things - well, except the butter, but olive oil is often a fine substitute there.

  17. Oh, delish! I now have a great desire to cook (haven't had much of an urge all week, with half the fam gone!). You're an inspiration!!!

    Ooooh, I'm glad the blogs look OK. I like them, too, but I've been looking at them for too long. I really wanted all the backgrounds to be white (the part that is medium gray), but then I lose all the rounded corners. AND I have to do each blog individually -- time consuming.

    Andrew summed it up pretty well this morning when he walked into my room: Mom, why are you staring at all those funny symbols? It would make my eyes bug out.

    Yep, I've had enough HTML for one day! lol I'm SOOOOO glad that I was able to help you out! It was my pleasure!!! Any time -- and I do mean that!!!
