Ranch Pork Chops & Parmesan Mashed Potatoes

I know this blog has been taken over by my little guy, but this meal was too good not to share! We have gone through our freezer stash, so you can expect more new recipes on the way. :)

These were honestly the best pork chops I have ever tasted. I cooked them on low for 6 hours, and they were so tender I could cut them with my fork. I was lazy and didn't add the roasted garlic to the potatoes and think they came out just fine. I didn't salt the potatoes either since some complained that the gravy was a little on the salty side.



6 pork chops, 1/2 inch thick
1 packet dry Ranch Dressing Seasoning
10 oz can Cream of Chicken Soup
4 lbs peeled, cubed potatoes
5 Tablespoons real butter
1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
6 cloves roasted garlic (directions are below)
1- 1 1/2 Cups warm milk
1 Tablespoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper, or to taste

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.
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. 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 consistency.
Scoop mashed potatoes onto serving plates and top with pork chops and soup gravy from crock pot.
