New Recipe

Week 1 of my Tasteful Tuesday challenge turned out to be pretty good! I will share the recipe, it was really easy! Week 2 was fajitas, which I LOVE and have made before BUT I have never made fajita seasoning from scratch so that was counted as my new recipe. I found a few recipes for the seasoning so I did a little combining to make my own and it turned out delicious, but now I can not remember exactly what it was because I forgot to write it down as I went. Anyway, Creamy ranch pork chops....

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick (about 1 pound)
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)
3/4 cup milk
1 package (1 ounce) ranch salad dressing mix
Paprika
Ranch-Style Rice

1. Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until well browned on both sides.

2. Stir the soup, milk and 1/2 package salad dressing mix in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the pork is cooked through. Sprinkle with the paprika.

3. Serve with the Ranch-Style Rice.

Ranch-Style Rice: Heat 2 1/4 cups water and the remaining salad dressing mix in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil. Stir in 1 cups uncooked regular long-grain white rice and cook according to the package directions.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with a vegetable blend. For dessert, serve chunky applesauce topped with cinnamon.

Makes: 4 servings.

Tasteful Tuesday

Do you ever feel like you cook the same rotation of meals? I sure do! The other night, I was apologizing to Tobin for that and decided I need to be bold and try new recipes. Between us both working 2 jobs and mutual life gets a little crazy and our "relaxing " evenings at home together exist only on Tuesday! So, I will be trying a NEW recipe EVERY Tuesday! If it is a good one, I may share it. Tonight, creamy ranch pork chops with ranch style rice... sounds good and easy. Wish me luck because I NEED IT! (Cooking is not really my thing)
