Oven Baked Pork Chops Made With Dry Ranch Seasoning
These pork chops are beyond simple, making them perfect for weeknight dinner. Just 3 ingredients and about 30 minutes to make these chops.
I love any recipe that can be made with just a few ingredients that you keep on hand. Considering pork chops and oil are two of the ingredients, really it’s the dry ranch mix that you need to make sure you have stocked in your pantry. I buy the large container of dry ranch mix that Costco carries because well I like ranch. . . a lot.
The ranch and pork combo may sound strange. But trust me they totally go together.
How Long Do Pork Chops Take To Bake
I like to cook my chops high and fast. 425ºF for about 30 minutes (depending on thickness) then broil on high the last 5 minutes.
This time is for pork chops that are about 3/4 inch thick. You may need to add or subtract to cooking time depending on the thickness of your pork chops.
What Temp Should Pork Chops Be Cooked To
Check out this handy Pork Temperature Breakdown by Pork.org. Basically for pork chops you want the internal temp to reach 145ºF-160ºF. That is a wide range because it depends how you like your pork cooked, medium-rare to well.

I would like to see the sword PRINT up closer to the beginning of the recipe. You have to scroll through a lot to get to print
It’s 4 ingredients with simple instructions. Read the recipe and go make it or bring your device in the kitchen.
I made these pork chops last night, and they were delicious! I had all the ingredients, but didn’t have high expectations. This recipe really exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely make it again!
So happy to hear it 🙂
What kind of oil do you use like vegetable oil or something else
I personally like avocado oil for my cooking. But you can use veg oil if that is what you keep on hand 🙂
I made these tonight…despite over-cooking (I got distracted) by about 15 minutes they were still great! I always prefer my meat a bit dry, so it worked out for me. I’m sure if you follow recipe—and don’t ignore your timer—your pork will be perfect (and no one at your dinner table will need to make a dramatic-show of cutting meat)! 👌🏻😂
This recipe has been added to our “keep” pile.
Awesome! I tend to cook my pork well done too 🙂
Do you cover the chops while they bake?
I do not.
Absolutely delicious pork chops, we love the flavor of ranch!
I got bone in pork chops instead of boneless. Can I still use them? If so do I cook them at the same temperature.
Yes, you can use bone-in. Cooking time may vary but you can cook at the same temp.
What about olive oil
Yep, that’ll work 🙂
It says no carbs in the nutritional info but the ranch has carbs so anyone counting carbs needs to add that to the count
Thanks for pointing that out. These nutrition calculators are really frustrating sometimes :/
I recommend NOT using Parchment paper…. I would just grease the pan. I feel that this could have easily started a fire even for just 5 minutes. (Paper turned color and was seriously smoking when it came out). Other than that they were great. If I make it again, I think I would sear the chops for color and nix the broiling 5 minutes.
Yes, if your parchment paper is worrisome definitely just grease the pan. Most parchment paper is good up to 450º but it’s not necessary so can be left off. Thanks for your comment 🙂
Can I use ranch dip mix instead of ranch dressing mix?
Yes you may 🙂
How long would you suggest for bone in pork chops?
It just really depends on how you prefer your pork cooked (boneless or bone-in) I’d start checking doneness at 20 minutes. I prefer fairly well done pork so I go a bit longer.
Can you marinate the porkchops in the olive oil/ranch mixture?
Sure can 🙂
What if I just have ranch dressing, not the powder packet? Can I use that??
No, unfortunately that will not work. But I do have a couple other pork chop recipes. Maybe you have the ingredients for one of these: https://wonkywonderful.com/baked-italian-pork-chops-and-potatoes/ https://wonkywonderful.com/bbq-pork-chops-in-oven/
Big hit at our table will make them again yummy!
I made these last night. Even my picky eater kids loved them! We will be making these again 🙂
Awesome!
If I want to sear the pork chops before putting in the oven (I always do), should I marinate them in the oil/ranch mixture for a bit first? Then spoon it over before putting in the oven?
No, I would sear first then continue on with the steps.
Can I use melted butter instead of oil?
Absolutely 🙂
I used canola oil.
We have a really thick Costco pork chops. How long would you recommend cooking those?
For extra thick I would give it a few extra minutes then check and keep a close eye.
