Rated 5 out of 5 by from I followed BHawks tips. As I am Cajun, I covered chops with creole mustard by Zatarain's. I used Hidden Valley Ranch zesty Italian. I had 5 chops so I used 2 packs. Mixed in black pepper & cayenne pepper. Covered chops with the mix. I also used my "black pot skillet". As oven was preheating, I put a little olive oil in skillet and put skillet in oven as well. Then, cooked chops 12 min. Each side. As the timer went off, I put a dash of water in skillet. This helps with browning. They were brown and awesome!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Trick to browning If you cook the chops in an iron skillet in the oven, it helps to brown them. I put a tbsp of oil (I used coconut oil) in the skillet and preheat the skillet in the oven while the oven is preheating. Cook at the recommened 450° ... place seasoned chops in the skillet once oven is preheated. Cook on one side for 10 to 12 minutes, flip the chops and cook the remaining 10 to 12 minutes... they come out very nicely browned.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Simple and delicious After reading several reviews, I wanted to make sure my chops were browned (because to me it just looks more appetizing that way). So I quickly seared the chops on both sides before placing in the oven. Worked well and helped lock in the juices to keep the meat moist. I also added cubed red potatoes and fresh green beans to the pan with the chops to make it a one dish meal. Turned out delicious.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from this is really really good I followed the directions I have no problems what the other people were complaining about. I did spray some pam to the bottom of the pan, it helped brown it up. also I used in center cut pork chops.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Slight Variation... I bought a packet of HV Fiesta Ranch Dip Mix, and instead of spreading it on my butterfly chops, I poured it into a small bowl with a couple ounces of olive oil. This turned the dressing in a red paste. I brushed both sides of the chops with the paste, sprinkled some additional pepper and marinated for a day in the refrigerator. I grilled them on a Jenn Air electric grille. WOW ! ! ! The best pork chops I've ever had...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So good I noticed some reviews stated the pork chops didn't brown- I bought a thermometer (you can get them for about $5) and noticed I had to set my oven higher- also I lined the baking pan with foil and sprayed with oil- then I put the baking pan in the oven while it was preheating- when my oven hit 450- I took out the pan, placed the seasoned pork chops on and place right back in the oven and cooked per instructions- they came out brown, juicy and absolutely delicious- highly recommend- everyone in my family loved them- no left-overs #thank goodness)! Hope this helps!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Moist chops with delicious seasoning This recipe was so easy to follow and has immediately earned its spot in my gallery of "easy go-to dinners!" After reading comments from others, I made some slight adjustments, but the chop came out delicious and moist: I did not add salt nor any other seasoning other than the Hidden Valley Ranch, and reduced the temp from 450 to 400. After 20 mins the temp had reached 160+ degrees and when cut into, it was very slightly pink, so it was perfect. The only thing that I might do differently next time, is that I might give a quick sear to the chops on the stove top before popping into the oven since they did not brown nor have a rich color as expected. I'm already looking forward to giving this another try! Yum!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrific with a few adjustments The pork chops came out juicy and tender, but I did have to make a few minor modifications in the preparation of this recipe. One packet was not quite enough to coat 6 chops. Also, the chops weren't quite done after 20 minutes and needed another 5-10 minutes to be fully cooked.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast, No Work, Really Tasty These were great with no work at all. The only thing I would do next time is not add any extra salt. There is enough in the dressing. This is a real keeper for a quick dinner to make after work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy and tasty! This recipe has all the necessary components for my meal planning as of late: inexpensive easy tasty I use one packet for two pork loin chops. I usually have a little bit of the powder left, but that is ok. The meat is moist and flavorful. I have made it on more than one occasion and will continue to do so when I need a quick and easy meal in the future.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Recipe Needs Modification I tried this recipe and the flavor was good, not as spectacular as I expected after reading the other reviews. Much of the dressing taste seemed to be cooked out. I bake a lot of pork chops using various recipes. I was leery of baking these at 450 degrees, as it seemed too high and I was correct. The chops were a little tough. I would recommend browning each side briefly in a pan, adding the dressing and seasonings, and baking at 300 to 350 at the most, depending on your oven, altitude etc.. for about 25 minutes.. I bake most of my chops this way and they are usually very tender and juicy.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from I followed directions for this recipe and it looked nothing like the picture. Did not have that bronzed colour and the pork was over cooked. ...was really looking forward to it to only to be disappointed. :(

Rated 3 out of 5 by from This recipe just needs a few changes Tried the original recipe and it turned out too dry- so made it again but instead I fryed it and used creamy salad dressing instead. Liked it so much better my own way.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Really good, simple and quick This was really good and my family enjoyed it! I followed the recipe but did not salt however did use the paprika and lowered the temp to 425. I think the reason people are saying this does not brown is because the natural juices in the meat cook out some and this does not allow the browning. You may want to place the meat on a cookie rack or use a broiler pan to keep it out of it's juices but either way was really good, moist and tender. I used pork tenderloin and I would think you could use any cut, in fact I am considering rubbing a Boston Butt with HVR next time I prepare one. Take your meat out and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing to hold juices in. Thanks Hidden Valley for allowing me to prep a delicious and healthy meal so quickly!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best pork chops My 2 year old son and picky husband loves it. It's juicey and tender. It works great with all types of meat. Only difference that we do is we put 2 tbs of butter in the pan. This help with both clean up and browning.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from greatest chops ever! I followed the recipe but I used both the dry and wet ranch. Greatest chops ever my 6 year old loves it.
Date published: 2015-06-26
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great tasting and super easy! I cooked this for my husband and we both loved it! Instead of sprinkling it on the pork chops I decided to throw the seasonings and pork chops into a zip locked bag and shook it until the pork chops were fully coated. It saved a lot of time and made the flavor really set it. This will defiantly be a regular at my house!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quick,Easy,and Great Tasting! My husband and I saw the TV ad and both said we had to try it. It was really easy and quick to do. Tastes great! Will be having these more often! Next time we will try using this by frying them instead of baking. :-)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A serious skeptic! But these were seriously fantastic! After reading the reviews, I was concerned they would be dry or overcooked, since my chops were only 1/2" thick! But followed the recipe to a T and they came out perfect and juicy, and even slightly pink in the middle which we LOVE! I only upped the salt because we like a well seasoned meat and came out to perfection! Could use the addition of your favorite fresh chopped herbs such as rosemary, parsley, sage or thyme.....? I would NOT adjust the oven time or temp on this recipe. Served these with a Green Goddess Wedge Salad and roasted baby new potatoes. I think a dry Italian dressing mix would be just as good of a substitute in this recipe!
