If you’re craving a savory, comforting meal but don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen, these Zesty 3-Ingredient Ranch Pork Chops are your perfect match. The slow cooker does all the work so you can spend more time doing what you love, and before you know it, you’ll have a rich ranch-infused main dish that’s sure to make everyone’s taste buds sing.
Ingredients
- 4 thick-cut boneless pork chops
- 1 (1-ounce) packet of ranch seasoning mix
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can of cream of chicken soup
Instructions
1. Start by lightly spraying your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray to keep cleanup to a minimum.
2. Layer your pork chops in the bottom of the cooker. It’s okay if they overlap a bit.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning mix and cream of chicken soup until combined. Spread this over the pork chops, covering them as evenly as possible.
4. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for about 6 hours. The gentle heat allows the flavors to meld into a tender, irresistible dish.
5. After the cooking time is up, carefully remove the pork chops with a spatula; they’ll be so tender they may fall apart! Spoon the remaining sauce over the chops before serving.
Serve these pork chops with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed veggies to soak up every last drop of the velvety ranch sauce.
In the end, these Zesty 3-Ingredient Ranch Pork Chops are a no-fuss dream for anyone with a busy schedule, a love of easy comfort food, or those simply seeking a cozy dinner they can rely on. If you’re watching your sodium intake, look for reduced-sodium soup and reduced-sodium ranch mix. You can even try swapping in cream of mushroom soup to subtly change the flavor profile. No matter how you choose to customize them, these pork chops promise to deliver a satisfying, mouthwatering meal that brings together simplicity and deliciousness.
