Here’s a simple and tasty way to make Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops and Potatoes—perfect for a hands-off, comforting meal:
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 4 medium potatoes, diced or sliced
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
- 1 small onion, sliced (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Crockpot: Lightly spray the inside with cooking spray.
- Layer Ingredients:
- Place the potatoes (and onions, if using) at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place pork chops on top of the potatoes.
- Mix the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the ranch seasoning, cream of mushroom soup (if using), and chicken broth.
- Pour evenly over the pork chops and potatoes.
- Cook:
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours.
- Pork should be tender and cooked through; potatoes should be soft.
- Serve:
- Spoon the potatoes and pork chops onto plates.
- Drizzle with some of the sauce from the crockpot.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, sear the pork chops in a pan for 1–2 minutes per side before putting them in the crockpot.
- You can swap potatoes for sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter dish.
- Add carrots or green beans halfway through cooking for a complete one-pot meal.
