This is an AWESOME recipe that came from my great-grandpa, which was passed down to my mom, which she passed down to us. When my mom was in college she would go over to his house and he would make these pork chops for her. When he made it for her, he used 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup instead of one can of cream of chicken and one can of cream of mushroom. I like it with the cream of chicken because it adds a bit of a brighter dimension but it is great either way! It is ridiculously easy and takes less than 5 minutes of actual prep time… but it tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen! The gravy is to die for! With only 4 ingredients and hardly any prep time.. you can’t go wrong. Your family is going to love this recipe– mine does!
Ingredients
- 6-8 thinly sliced pork chops (you can usually buy them already cut thin)
- 1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing powder
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
Instructions
- Spray slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Add pork chops.
- Sprinkle ranch dressing powder evenly over the pork.
- Add soups and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours (or high heat for about 3-4 hours).
- Serve with mashed potatoes or rice.
Thanks. You guys are awesome.
This was so delicious and easy!!! It is definitely going in the rotation! Thank you so much!
Going home at lunch time to throw this in teh crock pot for dinner! Can’t wait.
Do you use the large cans of soup (family size) or the same 10 oz. cans?
The 10 oz. cans.. Not the family size
No water?
We had this the other night and really liked it. I forgot to spray the crockpot but it didn’t matter – no sticking. Served over brown rice. Also, the pork chops were so moist, they literally fell apart. Wonderful, easy dish that I didn’t have to write down to remember. Thanks for a great recipe!
We had this tonight and it was really good, but it was a little salty. Has anyone else had that problem?
I made this and was too salty to eat. Even used low sodium soup. What did I do wrong?
You can cut back on the ranch dressing powder if it is too salty. You can use half and you will see a difference
Just put this in the crockpot! I only had thick, frozen chops, but I followed your directions anyway! Let’s see how this goes……..
What cut of pork do you use? Is it the thin boneless sirloin chops or something else? Thanks.
At the butcher they are just called boneless thin porkchops. Ask your butcher, I’m sure he will know what you’re talking about.
My Husband hates cream of mushroom soup, can I use two can of the cream of chicken?
Yes, that would work fine.
Made this tonight for my husband`s b-day and it was rockin` good!!!
I don’t have the powdered ranch dressing. Would some regular
Hidden valley ranch dressing be ok to substitute?
I wouldn’t recommend it.. it would be adding a lot of added far, plus it might make it taste funny. There are recipes out there for powdered ranch dressing, I would recommend making your own powdered ranch before using bottled ranch.
So I only have 1 can if cream of chicken can I do 1/2- 1 can if water instead of the other can if cream of mushrooms?
I’m a little confused what you are asking here?? If you can sub one of the cans for water?
I have only four thin slices pork chops will that work ok
That should be ok, maybe just do one can of “cream of”.. choose your favorite
I just realized the I bought the hidden valley ranch dip instead of dressing this should still work right! I hope so because I did put it together and is cooking!
Yummy!! I added frozen peas to the crockpot an hour before serving and it gave it a nice little crunch
Thanks for the great idea!
For Erin who her husband hates cresm of mushroom, I bet cream of celery would be a good substitute. We’ll have to experiment. I will definitely try the original recipe first- sounds super easy.
I have a Hidden Valley 1.0 oz of Oringal Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix Packet; is this the Ranch Powder your reciepe calls for?
That will work too, we just have a large container of the same stuff.
The pork chops turned out wonderful. They were a little salty, but we limit our salt. I also made brown rice. It was awesome this will be on the menu often. I may use half of the ranch next time just to see if it is less salty. Either way I will make often. Thank you loved it!
Our’s turned out Awesome! I did not have to use the whole packet; just used the ranch powder as if i were seasoning a steak on the grill and it turned out perfect. This recipe will most definitely be a keeper in our house.
Do you need to add water?
Nope!
My pork chops always turn out dry and tough when cooked normally–even with very thick chops. Just wondering if thin, boneless chops can take 8 hours in crock pot and not be overlooked and tough?
I think you will be pleased, the crockpot cooks the meat while locking the moisture in.
Pork chops were really good,however, I only added about 1/4-1/2 of Ranch dressing. Gravy is wonderful over potatoes or rice and sooooo easy. Thanks!
