A cozy, homestyle slow cooker pork chop recipe featuring ranch seasoning and a rich, creamy mushroom gravy. Perfect for easy, comforting dinners with minimal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-thick pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1 to 1¼ inch thick, roughly 1.5–2 pounds)
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix or homemade blend with dried dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup sour cream (full-fat preferred, light works too)
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for sautéing)
  • 1 tablespoon flour (for thickening gravy)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops lightly with salt and pepper. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Transfer chops to crockpot.
  2. In the same skillet, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes. Transfer to crockpot on top of pork chops.
  3. In a bowl, combine ranch seasoning, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Whisk until smooth. Pour evenly over pork chops and onions in crockpot.
  4. Cover slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and is tender.
  5. Carefully remove pork chops and set aside, tented with foil to keep warm. Stir in ½ cup sour cream into the crockpot sauce. If gravy is too thin, whisk 1 tablespoon flour with 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth; stir into sauce and cook on HIGH for 5 minutes until thickened. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
  6. Spoon creamy ranch gravy over pork chops. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Browning pork chops before slow cooking adds flavor and improves texture. Use bone-in chops for juicier results. Add sour cream at the end off-heat or on high for a few minutes to prevent curdling. For gluten-free, ensure ranch seasoning and soup are certified gluten-free or use homemade mixes. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream and soup with alternatives like coconut milk or cashew cream. If gravy is too thin, thicken with flour slurry or cornstarch slurry for gluten-free.
