3After years of seeing our American members talk about this recipe, I knew I had to try this for myself – and boy it did not disappoint! 😊
4The Hidden Valley dry ranch mix isn’t something Australian supermarkets sell but, like me, you can easily order it online to make this dish the way it’s intended. I purchased mine from HERE. Alternatively, you can make your own easy blend yourself (instructions below)

6While the traditional recipe uses pepperoncino pickled peppers, which I also couldn’t get in Australia, I substituted with a mild pickled chili that was available in our mainstream supermarkets. While I did cook the recipe with the chillies, I discarded the actual chillies prior to serving to keep the spice level suitable for our little ones, but by all means leave them on your plate if you love chillies 😊

Made this and it was amazing!!! Serve with mash and bread and butter to soak up the juices!
I made my own ranch powder using buttermilk powder and also used pickled jalapeno and some liquid instead of mild chillies.
