Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Pork Chops
- Start by placing the raw pork chops in the bottom of your slow cooker. No need to sear them first—just place them in whole. The slow cooker will do all the work to create tender, juicy chops.
Step 2: Add the Seasoning Mix
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the pork chops. You can use store-bought ranch seasoning or make your own, depending on your preference. The seasoning adds a nice savory flavor to the pork chops that complements the creamy sauce.
Step 3: Add the Cream of Mushroom Soup
- Next, pour the cream of mushroom soup (or your chosen variety) over the pork chops, covering them as evenly as possible. The soup will melt down during cooking and create a rich, creamy sauce that coats the pork chops.
Step 4: Slow Cook the Pork Chops
- Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours (depending on the thickness of your pork chops). If you’re short on time, you can cook them on high for about 4 hours, but for the best tenderness, low and slow is the way to go. As the pork chops cook, the flavors from the seasoning and soup blend together, and the pork becomes incredibly tender, practically falling apart with just a fork.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Once the pork chops are fully cooked, serve them with the creamy sauce from the slow cooker. The sauce can be spooned over mashed potatoes, rice, or even roasted vegetables. Pair with your favorite side dishes, and dinner is served!
Tips for the Perfect Slow Cooker Pork Chops
- Bone-In vs. Boneless: Both bone-in and boneless pork chops work well in this recipe. Bone-in chops tend to be juicier and more flavorful, but boneless chops are quicker to cook and easier to serve. Choose whichever you prefer or have on hand.
- Creamy Variations: If you’re not a fan of cream of mushroom soup, you can swap it out for cream of chicken, cream of celery, or even a cheese soup for a different flavor profile.
- Add Veggies: You can add carrots, potatoes, or onions to the slow cooker for a one-pot meal. Just place them at the bottom of the slow cooker before adding the pork chops and sauce.
- Spice It Up: If you prefer a little heat, add some cayenne pepper, chili flakes, or hot sauce to the seasoning mix to give the dish an extra kick.
