Ingredients For Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Pork Chops
-
4–6 boneless or bone-in pork chops
-
1 packet dry ranch dressing mix (or onion soup mix for variation)
-
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken (or mushroom) soup
-
1 cup chicken broth (or water for lighter version)
Instructions
-
Prepare Slow Cooker – Lightly grease or spray the insert.
-
Layer Ingredients – Place pork chops at the bottom of the slow cooker.
-
Mix Sauce – In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, ranch mix, and chicken broth. Pour over the pork chops.
-
Cook – Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until pork chops are fork-tender.
-
Serve – Spoon the creamy sauce over the pork chops and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
Servings
-
Makes 4–6 servings depending on pork chop size.
Notes
-
Bone-in pork chops stay juicier, but boneless works well too.
-
The sauce thickens as it cooks; if you want it extra creamy, stir in a little sour cream before serving.
-
Can substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or celery soup.
Tips
-
Brown the pork chops in a skillet before adding to the slow cooker for added flavor.
-
Add sliced mushrooms or onions to make it heartier.
-
If the sauce is too thin, whisk in a little cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water) at the end.
