6 pork chops, 1/2-inch thick
1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix
1 can (10 oz.) cream of chicken soup
4 lbs. peeled & cubed potatoes *
5 Tblsp. butter
1 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese *
6 cloves roasted garlic *
1-1 1/2 cups warm milk *
salt & pepper to taste
Place pork chops in a crock pot sprayed with Pam or lined with a crock pot liner (LOVE these things!). Sprinkle ranch seasoning mix over pork chops and pour soup over all. Cover and cook on high heat for 3-4 hours OR low heat for 5-6 hours. Place potatoes in a large pot of cold water. Place onto stove top over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Mash potatoes and add butter, Parmesan, milk, salt & pepper. Season to taste, if needed. Scoop potatoes onto plates and top with pork chops and soup gravy from the crock pot. Yummy!
* When I saw that this recipe called for 4 lbs. of potatoes I knew that would be WAY too much for my family, so I'd suggest just using however many potatoes you think your family will eat. I also divided amounts of Parmesan and garlic in half. I hate it when my mashed potatoes are too runny, so I only added a splash of milk & for me that was enough. I've been addicted to Pinterest for weeks now, and I came across this recipe, courtesy of Real Mom Kitchen (I just tried finding the link for this cooking blog & Google Chrome is giving me issues right now; sorry!). I highly recommend this dinner. Not only can you just add everything in & then have dinner ready whenever you want it, but the potatoes are fantastic!
