Slow Cooker Ranch Pork ChopsIngredients:4 raw boneless pork chops (about 1 to 1½ pounds total)1 (1-ounce) packet dry ranch dressing mix1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup½ cup milkOr water for a slightly lighter sauce2 tablespoons butter, cut into small piecesInstructions:Step 1: Prepare the Slow CookerLightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or rub it with a little butter or oil. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup much easier.Step 2: Arrange the Pork ChopsPlace the raw pork chops in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker. It’s fine if they overlap slightly, but try to keep them mostly flat so they cook evenly and stay tender.Step 3: Make the Ranch SauceIn a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ranch dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, and milk until smooth and well combined. This creamy mixture will become the flavorful sauce as the pork cooks.Step 4: Add Sauce and ButterPour the ranch sauce evenly over the pork chops, making sure they are mostly covered. Scatter the small pieces of butter over the top of the sauce—this adds richness and helps the sauce turn silky as it cooks.Step 5: Cook Low and SlowCover the slow cooker with the lid and cook:LOW: 5–6 hoursHIGH: 2½–3 hoursThe pork chops are done when they are very tender and reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C). The sauce will thicken slightly during cooking.Step 6: Rest and ServeGently stir the sauce around the pork chops. Let the pork rest in the warm sauce for about 5 minutes with the lid off. Serve hot, spooning plenty of creamy ranch sauce over each pork chop.
