BUTTERNUT SQUASH PORK CHOPS RECIPES

Steps:

• Add 2 tbsp butter to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function and adjust to MORE or HIGH.
• When butter melts, brown the meat on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you may have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
• Add water to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Put the meat back into to the pot, top with remaining 6 tbsp butter and sprinkle ranch packet over the top.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys to program the Instant Pot for 3 minutes and adjust to LOW PRESSURE.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Carefully remove the meat from the pot to a serving plate and cover loosely with foil.
• (Optional) Drop arugula or spinach into the pot and stir, just until wilted.
• Serve pork chops on a bed of greens drizzled with remaining sauce.

Steps:

• Spray 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add all ingredients except whipping cream.

• Cover; cook on High heat setting about 5 minutes or until heated through.
