Instructions

Step 1

Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with oil or nonstick spray.

Step 2

If using potatoes and carrots, spread them evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Step 3

Pat pork chops dry with paper towels.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried parsley.

Step 5

Sprinkle mixture generously over both sides of each pork chop, pressing to adhere.

Step 6

(Optional) Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or butter. Sear pork chops 1–2 minutes per side until lightly browned. Transfer to slow cooker.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and heavy cream (if using) until smooth.

Step 8

Pour sauce evenly over pork chops in slow cooker. Dot the top with butter pieces.

Step 9

Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until pork chops are fork-tender and vegetables are soft.

Step 10

(Optional) If sauce is too thin, whisk 1 tbsp cornstarch with 1–2 tbsp cold water, stir into sauce, and cook on HIGH for 10–15 minutes until thickened.

Step 11

Taste gravy; add salt and pepper if needed.

Step 12

Serve hot, spooning creamy ranch gravy over pork chops and vegetables. Garnish with parsley or chives if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure the best texture, always use thick-cut pork chops to avoid them drying out during the long cooking process. While searing is optional, taking a few minutes to brown the pork chops in a skillet before they go into the slow cooker adds a deeper, caramelized flavor to the final dish.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For those with dietary restrictions, this recipe can easily be made gluten-free by using certified gluten-free condensed soups and ranch mix. You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or extra cream of chicken depending on your preference. For a lighter version, try using low-fat condensed soups and omitting the heavy cream, or stir in grated Parmesan at the end for a cheesy twist.

Serviervorschläge

Serve these tender chops hot, making sure to spoon plenty of the rich ranch gravy over both the meat and the vegetables. A fresh sprinkle of parsley or chives provides a lovely contrast to the creamy sauce. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days, and you can even assemble the raw ingredients in a freezer bag for a convenient dump-and-go meal later.
