How To Make Ranch Pork Chops In The Crock Pot

Add the potatoes and pork chops: Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and trim off any excess fat if necessary. Layer the potatoes on the bottom, then place the pork chops on top of the potatoes.

Assemble the ranch gravy: Add the ranch seasoning and corn starch to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Then add the creamed soups and whisk until fully combined. Pour the gravy on top of the pork and potatoes.

Cover and cook: Add the lid to the top and slow cook for 6-7 hours on LOW or cook on HIGH for 4 hours.

Garnish and serve: Remove the pork and potatoes from the slow cooker and pour gravy over the top. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

  • Use pork chops that are at least one inch thick. This will help them stay juicy and prevent them from drying out during cooking.
  • Trim off any excess fat from the pork chops before cooking.
  • If you want more gravy, double the ingredients for the ranch gravy.
  • For a gluten-free version of this recipe, use gluten-free cream soups and corn starch.
  • This recipe can also be made in the Instant Pot! Follow the same instructions, but cook on HIGH pressure for 30 minutes.
  • Baby potatoes are best for this recipe because they are tender and cook quickly, but you can also use larger red potatoes that have been cut into bite-sized pieces.

Variations

  • Add some veggies: Try adding carrots, green beans, or peas to the slow cooker along with the pork chops and potatoes.
  • Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ranch gravy for a little bit of heat.
  • Switch up the seasonings: Use Italian seasoning or Cajun seasoning in place of the ranch seasoning for a different flavor.
  • Use chicken: This recipe can also be made with boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Just cook for the same amount of time as the pork chops.
