Easy Pork Chops in the Slow Cooker
If pork chops make you nervous, you’re not alone. No one wants to risk undercooking pork, but no one likes a dry, overcooked hockey puck either. Enter: the slow cooker. This relatively hands-off method guarantees tender, juicy pork chops every time with minimal effort.
This easy pork chop dinner is the ultimate comfort food. It’s pork and potatoes smothered in a creamy sauce, just what we crave during the colder months!

Our Favorite Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops
I’ve always been hesitant with pork chops, but I wanted an easy slow cooker meal that didn’t require a million ingredients. I found a great recipe online and made a few tweaks to make it even better for our tastes. This dinner has become a staple in my home—my husband, who usually only eats breaded pork chops, fried, or cheese-covered meals, actually loves it. That’s a win.
I love to serve it with mashed potatoes. The sauce it makes is like the most delicious gravy on the mashed potatoes. It’s easy to tweak, too. I sometimes use one can of cream of mushroom and one can of cream of chicken, and that makes probably our favorite flavor!

Directions
Add the Pork Chops
Place the pork chops in the slow cooker. No need to sear—this is a true dump-and-go recipe.
Add the Other Ingredients
Mix the cream soups, ranch seasoning, and water or milk until smooth. Stir it so the pork chops are covered in slow cooker.
Slow Cook
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The longer, the better—extra time makes them melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Can I add veggies?
Yes! Toss in carrots or potatoes for a complete meal.

Boneless chops or bone in? Does cooking time make a difference for either?
I used boneless. My friend used bone-in. She cooked hers for over 7 hours. Sorry, should have mentioned that. I plan to try doing this with bone-in next time.
