A tangy mustard and ranch dressing sauce flavors these yummy baked pork chops perfectly. The seared pork chops bake to tender perfection with the sautéed mushrooms and sauce mixture. It's a surprisingly easy dish to put together. Just prepare the pork chops, pop the baking dish in the oven, and go about your afternoon while your dinner bakes.

Tips

If you don't have ranch dressing, here's another flavorful option: omit the ranch dressing, and when the pork chops come out of the oven, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of heavy cream or sour cream to the sauce.
Mushrooms are like sponges when it comes to liquids. The best way to clean mushrooms is with a damp paper towel. Just wipe them clean and trim the stems. If they are particularly dirty and you must use water, just give them a quick rinse and dry them quickly with paper towels.
You might want to add some medium baking potatoes to the oven along with the baking dish. Rub the potatoes with some olive oil and kosher salt, prick them in a few places, and arrange them on the oven rack. They'll take approximately 1 1/2 hours at 325 F.

Variations

Feel free to add about 1/2 cup of sliced celery to the skillet along with the onions and mushrooms for extra texture and color.
For garlic flavor, add a minced clove of garlic to the skillet about 1 minute before the onions and mushrooms have browned.
