Some of the best weeknight dinners are the ones that ask almost nothing from you, and this 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Ghostly Good Meal fits that category perfectly. It’s a practical, budget-friendly pork chop recipe that lets the slow cooker do the heavy lifting while you get on with your day. The simple combination of bone-in pork chops, creamy soup, ranch seasoning, and broth turns into a cozy, savory meal with plenty of flavor and a rich gravy-like sauce.
Serve these tender pork chops over mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or steamed rice so none of the creamy sauce goes to waste. If you want to round things out, add a simple green bean side, roasted carrots, or a crisp salad for a little freshness against the rich, comforting main dish.
4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Ghostly Good Meal
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 raw bone-in pork chops
Directions
1. Place the raw bone-in pork chops in an even layer in the bottom of the slow cooker insert.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, and chicken broth until mostly smooth.
3. Pour the mixture evenly over the pork chops, cover, and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the pork is tender and cooked through.
4. Carefully remove the pork chops, spoon the sauce over the top, and serve hot with your favorite sides.
Variations & Tips
Add onions: If you have a few extra minutes in the morning, scatter sliced onions under or over the pork chops before cooking. They soften into the sauce and add a little extra sweetness and flavor.
Use a different soup: Cream of mushroom or cream of celery both work well here if that’s what you already have in the pantry. It slightly changes the flavor, but the method stays exactly the same.
Make the sauce thinner or thicker: For a looser sauce, add an extra splash of broth before cooking. If you want it thicker at the end, let the sauce sit uncovered for a few minutes after removing the pork chops, or serve it over mashed potatoes where it soaks in beautifully.
Meal prep tip: This is a great dump-and-go dinner for busy weekdays. You can mix the soup, ranch seasoning, and broth the night before, store it in the fridge, and pour it over the pork chops in the morning to save a little time.
