Here’s a simple and flavorful Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops and Potatoes recipe—comfort food made easy in one pot!
🥩 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
- 1 small onion, sliced (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
🥄 Instructions
- Prep Ingredients:
Season pork chops lightly with salt and pepper. Chop potatoes into even chunks. - Layer in Crockpot:
Place potatoes (and optional onions) in the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle with half of the ranch seasoning mix. Lay pork chops on top. Sprinkle remaining ranch seasoning over the pork chops. - Add Liquid:
Pour chicken broth around the pork chops—not over them—to keep seasoning on top. - Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until pork chops are tender and potatoes are cooked through. - Optional Topping:
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over pork chops and potatoes about 10–15 minutes before serving to melt. - Serve:
Serve hot with a side of vegetables or a simple salad.
💡 Tips:
- Use bone-in pork chops for juicier meat, or boneless for quicker cooking.
- You can swap cheddar cheese for mozzarella or leave it off for a lighter dish.
- For extra flavor, add garlic powder, paprika, or fresh herbs with the ranch seasoning.
