A creamy, flavorful ranch pork chops recipe made effortlessly in the crockpot, perfect for busy weeknights and family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick (900g / 2 lbs)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1/4 cup dry mix / 28g)
  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz / 298g)
  • 1 cup sour cream (240ml), full-fat
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (2.5g)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (2.5g)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (120ml)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (28g)

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to help the ranch seasoning stick and prevent steaming in the crockpot.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ranch seasoning, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Place pork chops in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot, avoiding overlap.
  4. Pour the sauce evenly over the pork chops, spreading gently with a spoon to coat each chop.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours until pork chops are tender but not falling apart.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, add butter to the crockpot and gently stir it into the sauce for a silky texture.
  7. Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork chops reach 145°F (63°C). Serve immediately, spooning extra sauce over the chops.

Notes

[‘Pat pork chops dry to avoid watery sauce and help seasoning stick.’, ‘Cook on low heat to keep pork chops tender and juicy; avoid high heat to prevent dryness.’, ‘Use full-fat sour cream for best creaminess; low-fat versions thin the sauce.’, ‘Add butter at the end for a silky, rich sauce—do not skip.’, ‘Do not overcrowd the crockpot; cook in batches or reduce pork chops if needed.’, ‘Save leftover sauce for next day; reheat gently with broth or cream.’, ‘Freezing is not recommended as cream-based sauces separate when thawed.’]
