PORK CHOPS AND CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle pork chops with pepper; brown 3 minutes on each side.
• Spray 2 1/2-quart casserole with cooking spray. Stir sauce mix (from potato box), boiling water and half-and-half with whisk in casserole. Stir in cheese, potatoes (from potato box), green onions and thyme. Stir in 3 slices crumbled bacon.
• Place pork chops on potatoes in casserole.
• Cover; bake 25 minutes. Uncover; bake 5 to 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender, pork is no longer pink in center, and meat thermometer inserted in center of pork reads 145°F. Sprinkle with remaining bacon and, if desired, additional sliced green onions.

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.
