Some of the best suppers come from the kind of kitchen wisdom that gets passed along without much fuss: open a few pantry staples, lay supper in the slow cooker, and let the afternoon do the work. This is the sort of comforting meal that feels right at home on a Midwestern table, especially on a busy day when you still want something hot, creamy, and hearty waiting by dinnertime.
These tender pork chops are mighty good with mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or fluffy white rice to catch every bit of that creamy ranch gravy. If you want a little color on the plate, add green beans, sweet corn, peas, or a simple side salad, and a pan of warm biscuits never hurt a thing either.
3-Ingredient Crock Pot Ranch Pork Chops
Servings: 6
Ingredients
6 boneless pork chops
2 cans (10.5 ounces each) cream of chicken soup
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
Directions
1. Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker insert if needed, then arrange the boneless pork chops in an even layer in the bottom.
2. Spoon the cream of chicken soup over the pork chops, then sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly across the top.
3. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
4. Gently spoon some of the sauce over the chops before serving, and plate with your favorite side dishes.
Variations & Tips
For thicker gravy: If you'd like the sauce a little thicker, remove the cooked pork chops at the end and whisk the sauce well before serving. You can also leave the lid off for a short spell on high to help it tighten up just a bit.
For extra flavor: A little black pepper, garlic powder, or sliced onion can be added if you have them on hand, though the beauty of this recipe is how well it works just as it is.
For best texture: Boneless pork chops that are on the thicker side hold up especially well in the slow cooker. Very thin chops can cook too fast and may turn dry around the edges.
Make it a full meal: This dish is perfect over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles because that creamy ranch sauce is too good to waste. If you're feeding a hungry family, a vegetable and bread basket round it out nicely.
