Hi Hi!! I have something to tell you! It’s a story about how I bought three ingredients and made one of our favorite dinners of all time: Ranch Pork Chops.
WHAT IS RANCH PORK CHOPS
RANCH Pork Chops are oven-baked, tender and juicy chops packed with ranch dressing flavor! It is the easiest 4-ingredient dinner recipe you will ever make. You just need one pan and 5 minutes to prep. It’s quick, very easy, and beyond delicious!
I love making pork chops for dinner. If you are anything like me, then you are also a lover of ranch dressing, and now is the time to take it all to the next level. If you haven’t yet, that is. Ranch ain’t just a salad dressing, you know?
However, I have to admit — Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing is my savior when it comes to dinner time. As long as there’s HV’s Ranch Dressing to dip our food in, everyone is at the table. #truth
One might cover her fries with ranch, the other might cover his meat with ranch, and as for me? I put it all over my salad and simply enjoy the cool creaminess.
Buuuuut! THIS is not THAT. THIS my friends is Hidden Valley Original Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix sprinkled over juicy pork chops and baked in the oven for only 18-ish minutes. Dinner, with prep time and all, will be ready in under 30 minutes.
HOW TO MAKE RANCH PORK CHOPS
- Preheat the oven to 450˚F.
- In the meantime, season pork loin rib chops with Ranch Seasoning mix plus paprika, and arrange on a lined baking sheet.
- Pop them in the oven and cook for 20-ish minutes, turning once halfway through cooking.
- Take the pork chops out of the oven and serve. That’s IT! Easy peasy.

What adjustment would be needed if they are thin chops?
You want to start checking them for doneness a bit sooner, but it’s best to use an instant read meat thermometer to check for doneness – pork chops are cooked through when internal temperature registers at 145˚F.
I found this recipe on Facebook yesterday, made it tonight, and I am thrilled with it! I did have to make adjustments to the temp and time because my chops were no where near 1″ thick. I also added more paprika just because I like it. They turned out tender, moist, and absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
That’s great to hear! I am very glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for chiming in! 🙂

Can do this with pork steaks?
Yes, you can, but they will need to cook much longer. Use an instant read meat thermometer to check for doneness – when the internal temperature registers at 145˚F, the pork steaks are done. Remove them from oven and let stand a few minutes before serving.
