Ingredients
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes (halved or quartered if large)
- 1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp butter, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crockpot
Spray the inside of your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Layer the Ingredients
- Place the baby potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle half of the ranch seasoning mix over the potatoes.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then place them on top of the potatoes.
Step 3: Mix the Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, sour cream, and the remaining ranch seasoning mix.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the pork chops and potatoes.
Step 4: Add Butter
Top the pork chops with the sliced butter.
Step 5: Cook
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked, and the potatoes are soft.
Step 6: Serve
Carefully remove the pork chops and potatoes from the crockpot. Stir the sauce in the crockpot to combine, then drizzle it over the pork chops and potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Tips
- Potatoes: If using larger potatoes, cut them into smaller chunks to ensure even cooking.
- Thick sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the sauce 20 minutes before serving.
- Add veggies: Add carrots, green beans, or mushrooms to the crockpot for a one-pot meal.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
