This week’s ingredient was Ranch Dressing Mix.
Before I get into the dish I made, here’s the ingredient for next week:
Week 15 – Something with rice in it.
Week 16 – Lime or Lime Juice (and yes, it can be a drink!)
I had found a potato recipe on the internet and then when I went back to find it again, I couldn’t find the one I was looking for but found several very similar so I combined ingredients and this is what I came up with:
Cheesy Ranch Potatoes
Main Ingredients:
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into thick slices
1 packet Ranch Dressing Mix, made according to directions
3/4 cup grated Cheddar cheese
10 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Salt/Pepper to taste
Topping:
1/2 cup sour cream
Additional Ranch Dressing Mix
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º.
Mix all ingredients except Ranch Dressing Mix. Stir in enough dressing mix so that potatoes are coated completely.
Pour into a greased 9″ x 13″ dish. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove cover, mix 1/2 cup sour cream with up to 1/2 cup of remaining Ranch Dressing Mix and the 1/2 cup Cheddar. Spread over the top of the potatoes and bake, uncovered, another 20 minutes or until topping is hot.
These were so good and there was plenty leftover for another meal.

Oh, that sounds yummy! I’ve been wondering what these favorite potatoes were. I appreciate your sharing. I’m not much of a cook, so I need all the help I can get.

My favorite recipe using Rice. A great dish for a crowd.
Pork Chop bake
1 onion
1 or 2 Green, Red, yellow or Orange Peppers
1 cup dry Rice
1 Can diced tomatoes (I use Italion or Southwest style)
1 can water
Salt and Pepper to taste
Olive oil
Covered baking pan or casserole big enough to contain 4 or more pork chops. Lightly oil bottom of pan with olive oil.
Peel and slice onion in 1/2 inch slices. separate rings and put half in the bottom of the pan. Set rest aside.
Slice peppers into 1/4 inch rings and layer them over the onions.
Top with a layer of pork chops, another layer of onions and any remaining pepper rings.
Pour rice over the top evenly
Pour Tomatoes over the top evenly and add 1 can of water.
Bake covered at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
If using a large quantity of chops, adjust the layers accordingly and it is OK to layer the chops again. If doing 8 or more I like to use 2 cans tomatoes. I don’t increase the amount of rice or water.

Ours is similar except you use regular ranch dressing and you add…you guessed it…fresh green chile! 🙂 They are known as Rancher’s Potatoes around here. Good stuff!
