Ingredients
Scale
- 4 to 6 boneless or bone-in pork chops (about 2 pounds)
- 1 (1-ounce) packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom/celery)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed and softened
- 1/2 cup milk or chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- Fresh or dried parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels.
- Optional: Sear pork chops in a skillet over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, milk or chicken broth, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
- Place pork chops in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker. Scatter sliced onion or other add-ins over the pork chops if using.
- Pour the creamy ranch mixture evenly over the pork chops, ensuring they are well covered.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 2.5–3 hours, until pork is fork-tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Stir the sauce gently to blend any separated cream cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or your favorite side, spooning extra sauce over the top.
Notes
For gluten-free, use gluten-free cream soup and check your ranch mix. For dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese and soup. Searing the pork chops is optional but adds flavor. Sauce can be thinned with extra milk or broth if needed, or thickened by removing the lid for the last 30 minutes. Leftovers are even more flavorful the next day and can be used in sandwiches or wraps.
