Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use bone-in pork chops for the best flavor and juiciness.
• If you don't have ranch seasoning, you can make your own by combining dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.
• For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ranch seasoning mixture.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can simmer it for a few more minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
