Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops

These Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Pork Chops are absolute comfort food perfection. They require just a handful of ingredients, take minutes to prep, and cook down into fork-tender pork chops drenched in a rich, savory, creamy ranch gravy.

Ingredients

• The Pork: 4 to 6 boneless or bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
• The Seasoning: 1 packet (1 oz.) dry ranch seasoning mix
• The Creamy Base:
  • 1 can (10.5 oz.) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom/celery)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or cream cheese (softened, for extra richness)
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
  • 1 tbsp butter (cut into small pats)
• Optional Enhancements:
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms or baby potatoes to cook right alongside the chops
  • Fresh chopped parsley or chives for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Layer the Pork Chops

• Lightly grease your slow cooker insert with non-stick spray.
• Arrange the pork chops in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker. (If you are adding sliced potatoes or mushrooms, scatter them around and under the chops).

2. Mix the Creamy Ranch Sauce

• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream (or softened cream cheese), dry ranch seasoning packet, and chicken broth until smooth and well combined.

3. Pour and Top

• Pour the creamy ranch mixture evenly over the pork chops, ensuring they are completely coated.
• Dot the top with the small pats of butter for an extra touch of richness.

4. Slow Cook to Tender Perfection

• Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours (or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours).
• Tip: Avoid overcooking, as lean pork chops can dry out if left too long. They are done when the meat is tender and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 145°F).
