Chef
Jimmy Madla
We consider ourselves a jaded bunch of culinarians in the Home Chef test kitchen; there isn't a flavor combination that hasn't hit our experienced palate. That was until Chef Jimmy Madla presented us with the ranch crust on this pork chop. We were lining up for seconds and thirds. You won't have that luxury, but once you order this meal, you'll have something almost as good: the recipe. No matter if you’re a newbie who just learned how to hold a knife, or a chef with twenty years experience; this meal both surprises and delights. Tip: Line 'em up! The best way to remove the ends of green beans is to line them up evenly, then remove them with one cut.
