Holly’s Recipe Highlights
- Flavor: Savory, slightly tangy pork chops have an unforgettable flavor.
- Skill Level: Pork chops, seasonings, and a sheet pan are all you need for this easy (and easy to clean up!) recipe.
- Recommended Tools: A meat thermometer is the best way to tell when pork chops are done. They should reach an internal temperature of 160°F at the thickest part.
Easy Ingredients
- Pork: Look for pork loin rib chops. They’re great for baking and usually the most budget-friendly option. Make sure they are about 1-inch thick, as these cook best at high heat without drying.
- Ranch Seasoning Mix: Make your own ranch seasoning so it’s always on hand. If using store-bought, be sure to grab a ranch seasoning mixture, not the dip or dressing mix. Or swap it with a spicy ranch mix or add a pinch of cayenne for some added heat.
- Dijon Mustard: Dijon works as a dressing for the seasonings to adhere to and helps create a juicy sauce for the chops. You can also use a sweet hot mustard or a stone-ground mustard.
- Variations: Add sliced potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions, or broccoli to the pan for a full meal, keeping pieces similar in size for even cooking.
