Here’s a simple, cozy Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops recipe—tender, creamy, and almost effortless.
🥩 Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops
🧂 Ingredients
- 4–6 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1 inch thick)
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (or 2–3 tbsp)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup chicken broth (or water)
- ½ cup sour cream (added at the end)
- 2–3 cloves garlic (optional, minced)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for searing)
Optional add-ins:
- Sliced mushrooms 🍄
- Sliced onions 🧅
- Baby potatoes 🥔 (for a full meal)
🔥 Instructions
1. (Optional) Sear for extra flavor
Heat olive oil in a pan and quickly brown pork chops 1–2 minutes per side.
This step boosts flavor but can be skipped.
2. Load the slow cooker
Place pork chops in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, mix:
- cream of chicken soup
- ranch seasoning
- chicken broth
- garlic + pepper
Pour over pork chops.
3. Cook low and slow
- LOW: 6–7 hours
- HIGH: 3–4 hours
Cook until pork is tender and easy to pull apart.
4. Finish with creaminess
Stir in sour cream during the last 10–15 minutes of cooking.
🍽️ Serve with
- Mashed potatoes 🥔 (best pairing)
- Rice 🍚
- Egg noodles
- Steamed vegetables
💡 Tips for best results
- Don’t overcook on HIGH or chops can dry out
- Bone-in chops stay juicier
- If sauce is too thin, let it cook uncovered for 15–20 minutes at the end
- For stronger flavor, use a ranch seasoning like Hidden Valley
