One of my favorite crockpot recipes.
—8-10 boneless pork chops
—Season the pork chops with ranch seasoning
—2-3 cans of cream of mushroom soup. (I put 3 because it gives it more of a gravy)
Put on low for 5-6 hours.
Served over mashed potatoes or rice.
Ingredients:
- 8-10 boneless pork chops
- 1 packet (about 1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
- 3 cans (10.5 ounces each) cream of mushroom soup
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
- Mashed potatoes or rice, for serving
Instructions:
- Season the Pork Chops:
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of each pork chop with the ranch seasoning mix, pressing the seasoning into the meat so it sticks. Add a bit of salt and pepper if desired.
- Prepare the Crockpot:
- In the crockpot, pour in the cream of mushroom soup. If the soup is condensed, you can add 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth to each can to thin it out and create a smoother consistency.
- Layer the Pork Chops:
- Place the seasoned pork chops in a single layer over the soup mixture in the crockpot. If necessary, you can stack the pork chops, but try to layer them as evenly as possible.
- Cook Low and Slow:
- Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours. Cooking on low heat allows the flavors to meld and the pork chops to become tender.
- Check for Doneness:
- After 5-6 hours, check the pork chops for doneness. They should be fork-tender and easy to shred. If they are not done, cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until they reach the desired tenderness.
- Serve:
- Once the pork chops are cooked to perfection, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the creamy ranch pork chops over a bed of mashed potatoes or rice.
- Garnish and Enjoy:
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Enjoy your delicious and comforting creamy ranch pork chops!
Note: Feel free to customize this recipe by adding vegetables like mushrooms or green beans to the crockpot for a complete meal. Additionally, you can sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
