Easy Crock Pot Pork Chops have only 4 ingredients and hardly any prep time! The pork chops slow cook in a delicious creamy savory sauce you will love.
This is an AWESOME recipe that came from my great-grandpa, which was passed down to my mom, which she passed down to us. It makes an amazing gravy and the pork practically melts in your mouth! It is ridiculously easy and takes less than 5 minutes of actual prep time… but it tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen. This recipe is perfect for Sunday dinner, or a busy weeknight.
When my mom was in college she would go over to my great-grandpa’s 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 wahttps://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/loaded-mashed-potatoes/y! Make sure to use just the soup straight out of the can — no need to add water!

Substitutions:
If you aren’t a fan of canned “cream of” soups, try our Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup Substitute. It has all the flavor of a canned soup without the preservatives.
We use thin boneless pork chops for this recipe but you can also use bone-in chops. If you use a thicker chop, make sure to adjust the cooking time. Same goes for frozen chops — either thaw them before you put them in, or adjust the cooking time. We have seen recipes much like this one that use chicken instead of pork, which would actually be a great substitution if you don’t like pork. You can shred the chicken before serving or just keep it whole.
Some have said this recipe is a little too salty for their tastes, feel free to use low-sodium “Cream Of” soups and that should help with the salty-ness.
The Gravy & Potatoes:
This recipe makes a really tasty gravy that goes great with mashed potatoes! You literally don’t have to do anything. Once the pork chops are done, you can just use a slotted spoon or tongs to get the pork out of the Crock Pot and use whatever remains as gravy. We love serving the pork chops and gravy with mashed potatoes. To get the perfect mashed potatoes every time try our recipe HERE! These pork chops also go great with rice or steamed vegetables.

Milz says
Thanks. You guys are awesome.
James says
Tthis dish is just to easy to be so “GREAT” I doubled the quantity for
8 and all 8 ate every bite. Loved it so much they are already asking for the meal again soon. I served creamed potatoes and hot biscuits.
For desert, I served chocolate cobbler.
Emily says
Glad you like it and your chocolate cobbler sounds amazing!
Shelby says
This was so delicious I made it Monday and am making it again on Thursday lol
Terry says
What would the Carbs and Calories on this yummy Dish
Favorite Family Recipes says
We are still working on a nutritional calculator for our site. Currently we don’t have a way to calculate this here on our site. There are many calculators online to choose from in the meantime that may answer your question. Hope this helps!
Penny says
When you doubled the quantity for 8, did you also double the ingredients?
Katie says
This was so delicious and easy!!! It is definitely going in the rotation! Thank you so much!
Rosie Hinshaw says
My crock pot only held 6 pork chops I had 9 would it have been ok to stack the chops. I’m cooking this now. For future reference.
Kenny says
How’d it turn out? I’m doing this right now. Small crock pot so I just stacked them. We’ll see how it goes.
jodi says
Going home at lunch time to throw this in teh crock pot for dinner! Can’t wait.
Jennifer says
Do you use the large cans of soup (family size) or the same 10 oz. cans?
Erica says
The 10 oz. cans.. Not the family size
sherree says
Ive used chicken !
Frces Mallon says
Do you add water as per can instructions or use cans that don’t require water. Thank you.
Frances Mallon says
Sorry Emily. Saw the answer to my question further down.
You poor thing! All those questions and only four ingredients 🙂
Dana says
I’m putting this together right now, and trying to find out if I need to add water. Can someone please help me out??
Erica says
Nope, you do not need to add water to this recipe
Carmen says
No water?
Deb says
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!
Richard Willmore says
That’s what I intend to do… Serve it over Brown Rice!
Sandi says
We had this tonight and it was really good, but it was a little salty. Has anyone else had that problem?
Krissy says
I had the same problem, the pork chops were really moist but too salty. Anybody have ideas how to fix that?
Connie says
Yes use a fourth of a cup of ranch dressing in bottle. Works just as good as package but not so salty
Shawn says
I make my own Ranch Blend Seasoning, omitting salt so I can control salt content. 1. It tastes so fresh and so good. 2. And knowing your getting away from all the chemicals is a win win. Read the bold print on the bottom of the packages. If they honestly listed what was in them we would all freak out probably lol. 3. Will help with all kinds of health issues that effect 40% of the United states.
I’ve also made Taco Seasoning blends and Lipton onion blends. 2-3 tablespoons of it equals 1 package. We made tacos the other night, best tacos ever!
Karin says
What recipe so you us for salt free ranch? I have a salt free taco mix that’s great already. TIA
Deb Jurczak says
Shawn, what is your recipe for your ranch dressing? Please post it.
Deb J. Thank you
kathleen says
Could you share the ingredients for your ranch dressing?
Jo-Ann Jokiel-Girdler says
Hi I saw the Wright up that you make your own Ranch dressing without salt, is there any chance I could have the recipe for it please.
Margaret says
Hi ,
I’d love to know what you substituted for the ranch dressing???
Nancy says
Make your own Ranch dressing with less salt and use low sodium soup. Helps alot.
Cathy says
I made this and was too salty to eat. Even used low sodium soup. What did I do wrong?
Erica says
You can cut back on the ranch dressing powder if it is too salty. You can use half and you will see a difference
Sue Woolwine says
Put one whole peeled potato in crockpot , it soaks up salt.when done cooking just throw away or add butter and make mashed potatoes with it
Randy Lamb says
Yes, that is what I did. I used only half a packet of Ranch dressing. 🙂
Dena says
I added a tsp. of sugar to cut the salty taste. It didn’t make it sweet, just cut the salt a little. Tasted great! I used the sugar the second time I made them.
Sandi C. says
Just put this in the crockpot! I only had thick, frozen chops, but I followed your directions anyway! Let’s see how this goes……..
shelby says
How did it turn out? My chips are frozen to
Courtney says
What cut of pork do you use? Is it the thin boneless sirloin chops or something else? Thanks.
Erica says
At the butcher they are just called boneless thin porkchops. Ask your butcher, I’m sure he will know what you’re talking about.
Erin says
My Husband hates cream of mushroom soup, can I use two can of the cream of chicken?
Emily says
Yes, that would work fine.
Dede says
Made this tonight for my husband`s b-day and it was rockin` good!!!
Jennifer says
I don’t have the powdered ranch dressing. Would some regular
Hidden valley ranch dressing be ok to substitute?
Erica says
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.
Sarah says
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?
Emily says
I’m a little confused what you are asking here?? If you can sub one of the cans for water?
Bob says
I make this all the time and only use one can of cream of chicken and it taste great!!
Tabitha says
I have only four thin slices pork chops will that work ok
Erica says
That should be ok, maybe just do one can of “cream of”.. choose your favorite 🙂
Tabitha says
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!
Fran says
I also bot the HV ranch dried seasoning for dips – will it be ok? I just put it in crockpot. Answers pls ASAP. Feeling worried!!
Erica says
It should be ok! I haven’t tried it that way but I don’t think the two seasoning packets are all that different.
Michelle says
I have 3 bone in chops only should I only use 1 can of cream of mushroom? I’m trying it w cream of mushroom only this time! Maybe some milk or broth?
Erica says
Yeah you could do that… I would probably do a little milk with some chicken bouillon added.. that way it won’t get too watery hopefully
Catherine says
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!
Laura says
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.
JoAnn says
or French onion.
collene says
doing this recipe and added fresh mushrooms and roasted garlic sure it is going to be a big hit on jasmine rice
JILL CASEY says
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?
Emily says
That will work too, we just have a large container of the same stuff. 🙂
Dawna says
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!
JILL CASEY says
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.
Blondee0814 says
Do you need to add water?
Erica says
Nope!
Becky says
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?
Emily says
I think you will be pleased, the crockpot cooks the meat while locking the moisture in.
Kim Canaday says
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!
Melissa @ My Recent Favorite books says
Pinning to save ~ Planning to make very soon!!
Sounds delicious!!!
Robbin Stevenson says
im trying this now. hope it turns out well
Terri says
I have a recipe similar to this that uses cream of celery soup. It is in the skillet and you pour it over Rice, my kids always loved it.. I am going to try this in the crock pot. Would be so much easier.. Mine didn’t call for the ranch dressing either. Can’t wait to try it… 🙂
Cher says
I only have bone in! Will that work?
Cheryl says
I only have bone in pork chops, is that ok?
Erica says
Yes– that is totally fine!
Stuart says
Made it with cream of chicken soup. Absolutely delicious. I dumped a 12 oz. bag of peas in for the last hour and loved it. Thanks for a great recipe. You are my new Kitchen Goddess!
Angela says
I’ve got thin pork chops and they are in the freezer right now. If I were to take them out in 1/2 an hour and let them defrost a little bit. would it be ok to put it on medium for about 5 hours?
Erica says
I am sure they would be ok!
Mahnee says
I saw this recipe Tuesday while searching for a new way to cook the pork chops that were sitting in my fridge. Needless to say I went home at lunch and threw this together it in the crock pot. My husband and I had it over rice and it was delicious. The pork chops literally fell apart. I think next time I will add in fresh mushrooms and cut back on the ranch because it was a bit salty. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Melissa says
Is there any alternatives to the soup like maybe just water or something
Emily says
Maybe chicken broth, thickened with some cornstarch or flour.
jim says
Unbelievable,thanx bunches.
jim says
For the people who thinks its too salty,are you guys putting in the soup with an additional can of water or milk on top of it because that can be the problem ,alot of people dont realize when buying soup that on top of the can of soup your suppose to add a full can of water or milk this applys to most cream of whatever soups and mostly campbells chicken noodle.
Erica says
For this recipe you actually don’t add any milk but you are welcome to! Also getting low-sodium “cream of” soups helps with the saltiness.
Sheila says
Has anyone ever had to use frozen chops and if so did it turn out good
Kristie says
Just put this in the crock pot……..Sounds yummy and is an easy Sunday meal! Took all of 5 minutes!
Jim says
Can the pork chops br frozen when put in the crock pot
Erica says
yes, just cook them a little longer.. maybe 30 min or so
melanie says
How many people do you usually serve with 6-8 pork chops??
Emily says
About 1 pork chop per person
Rachel says
Can you make it without the ranch packet? I thought I had another, but I don’t..
Erica says
You can find mixes for dry ranch online.. we even have a homemade recipe that you can use (/2008/05/homemade-ranch-dressing.html) just use the dry ingredients in the recipe and use appx 2-3 Tbsp of it.
EVA HALL says
I cooked this and I also added a brown gravy mix with the soups and Ranch, and it was AWESOME.. My Family loved it. will be in the rotation of quick and easy recipes.
Candice Karas says
Love this site…and want to hear more ideas!
Sherru says
I have hidden valley dips mix ( the original ranch ) is this what your taking about , or is this something totally different ?!
K.C. says
Tried this recipe tonight. It’s good. After looking at the reviews, I only added approx. 3/4 of the ranch packet and a tsp of sugar….not salty at all. I used regular soups, not low sodium. Also added the frozen peas the last hour……GREAT addition. Adds an additional “crunch” to the meal. I will add this to my rotation of meals!
Nina says
I made shis recipe today and I only used half of the ranch packet since everyone was saying they will be salty…and it came out great!!! I will definitely be using this recipe again..thanks so much for sharing your Great grandpa’s recipe with us…
Elexis says
Silly question: Do you prepare the soup following the can’s directions or just dump the condensed soup in without adding the water? (as if you were preparing to make the soup).
Thanks 🙂
Erica says
You just dump it in as is… Not prepared as soup! Enjoy!
Kirby says
Could u do this recipe but w chicken???
Kirby says
N add carrots ??
Erica says
Haven’t done it but I don’t see why not!
Jessica says
Could you also cut up some potatoes and add in instead of rice or mashed potatoes? If so, would I need a liquid like chicken broth, milk, or water? Ty for any feedback 🙂
Erica says
Haven’t tried it. Let us know if you do and tell us how it is!
marilyn craig says
i am cooking 4 chops with cream mushroom soup.have a double crock.then i am putting red potatos,onions, carrot ,celery on other side.hope it turns out great.an use part of ranch.thank you
Stephanie t says
Wow. I made this tonight. I substituted country style ribs and accidentally bought the ranch dip. I just sprinkled a bit on top and added the soups. Cooked for 6 hours on high. Made mashed potatoes and honey glazed carrots. What an awesome tasting meal for a cold winter night. Definitely guest cooking worthy!
Thank you so much for this recipe!
Leslie says
We made this using thicker/boneless chops and cooked for 8 hours on low. The meat fell apart. My son called it a pork smoothie. We did not eat any of it.
Erica says
Yikes! I have never had that happen before. Not even close. Does your crock pot cook hot? Mayeb try it for just 4-5 hours on your low setting
Marie says
Bummer … I wish I had read the reviews. It was too much salt for me. Thanks for the recipe though. I think if you revised it so it wasn’t so salty…
Wendy says
I’m trying this recipe for dinner tonight. Using the crock pot frees up writing time for me so that’s always a good thing! I hope it comes out as good as it looks. Perfect comfort food for a chilly night! 🙂
Bob Masiello says
Most soups call for a can of water, so will I be adding 2 cans of water, one for the cream of chicken and one for the cream of mushroom?
Thanks,
Bob
Rich says
Did you ever get an answer? I question that as well.
Echo says
Nope, you just add the soup.
Kim says
My kids inhaled this. Going to be an ongoing dinner choice at our house
ashley says
Can I use 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom instead? Dont have any Cream of Chicken
Erica says
Yes that is ok
Brandy says
I don’t have the hidden valley ranch dressing but I’m gonna try a different seasoning on them. I’ve seen where ppl say the hidden valley ranch dressing is making it salty anyway! Hope this turns out ok tho! Thank you
Sharon says
I just put this in my crockpot (before I read the reviews and used the whole package of ranch mix :-/). I also used 4 THICK bone-in pork chops. How long should I cook it and should it be on low or high? Thanks for your help – can’t wait to see how it comes out. Super easy is my cup of tea when it comes to cooking – thanks for sharing!
Erica says
You should probably be fine.. maybe just cook it an hour longer is all. I use a full packet of ranch mix and I think it is great 😉
Dana says
Sounds Yummy!! I was searching for a good Slow-cooker pork chop recipe.
Making these for dinner tonight.
Shelley n says
wow. WOOOOOW. i decided to cook chop in the slow cooker but had no clue what else to use. i tweeter a gal who’s a cook and she suggested i search a recipe, which i did. it led me HERE. *HEART EYES*
i made this recipe today and luvd it.
instead of cream of mushroom (bleeeck, the devil’s work!!), i used 1 cream of chicken and mushroom (very mild, not bad at all!) and 1 cream of celery, and also added half a chopped onion, 1 chopped orange bell pepper, and some fresh cilantro. the bell gave it some sweet flavor and the cilantro herbed it up, so nicely! just delicious all around, creamy, tender! perrrrrrrrrfection. i will continue to make this for years to come…
Erica says
I am SO glad that you liked it! Great addition ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Sierra says
I don’t have ranch packets could I use lipton onion and mushroom packet?
Erica says
I have never used those before so I don’t know how it would alter the taste. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
SheRa Coleman says
Ive got this in the crockpot right biw with 7 boneless thin pork chops. Followed directions above and just wanted a change on pork chops. I hope thus turns out good cause hunny is on his way from a 7 day hitch I hope he loves this. I got laundry to get done and thought this would be a yummy dinner while I get some stuff done. Along with an 8 year old and a 4 month old too. I hope it taste as good as it sounds.
Erica says
Hope he liked it! Did it taste as good as it sounded?
SheRa Coleman says
Yes it was but think next time ill use only a 1/2 a paket of ranch it was a littlw salty.
SheRa Coleman says
It smells good so far!!!!!
Lyn says
Going to try this tonite using all the suggestions above. However, will use “Golden Mushroon” soup instead. Much better color and taste! My son hates mushrooms so I dump the can in a bowl add just enough water or milk to thin it out and run it thru a sieve to remove the mushrooms. I don’t use regular cream of mushroom anymore! BLICK
Amber says
I’ve made this using Dry onion soup mix instead of the dry Ranch dressing. No water-just the dry mix-1 package or half. Yummy and delicious! 🙂
Emily says
I’ll have to try that!
Rich says
When you add the soups do you also add the can of water for each?
Echo says
No, you just add the soup, not the water. Thank you for asking!
Angela says
Trying this with the ranch dressing mix recipe you provided in one of the comments! Wish me luck! 🙂
lisa says
I picked up a hidden valley hang dip mix is this the same as what reciepe calls for?
Erica says
The dip is a little different. For the best results you will want the dressing mix. If you try it, let us know how it turns out!
Barb Iorio says
Had two grandsons for a week, and tried this (because it was so easy). Smelled great. But, even though I cooked it on low, there was hardly any gravy, the chops were too tough, and the bottom of my crockpot was burnt. This pot has never done this before. Followed the recipe exactly. Any clue what could’ve gone wrong?
Erica says
That is way crazy, I have made this SO many times and that has never happened. There should be lots of gravy. How long did you cook it for? How old is your slow cooker and what size is it? I have no idea why it would have ended up that way.
deb steppe says
try low sodium cream of mushroom or chicken or celery soups- they pack a lot of salt per can also
Echo says
Yes, that is a good idea if you are watching your salt intake. Thank you for the tip!
Aneta Hempleman says
I just made this meal tonight for my mother-in-law’s birthday. No pressure right?:) and it was delicious…I pretty much followed the recipe except for putting half package of the dressing powder because you can always add salt but cannot take it out and added frozen peas that someone in the previous comments mentioned and it turned just great! Thank you so much for sharing it!
Echo says
We’re so happy you had a successful meal with this recipe! Thank you for sharing!
Patti says
What size crock pot do you use?
Erica says
I use a 6 qt but you can easily do it in a 4 or 5 qt.
Marie says
Hi … I just put eleven thin cut chops in the crockpot with one can of family size cream of chicken soup and one pkg. Of the powdered dressing . I figured that since there was so many chops that the salty taste that everyone is talking about should balance out vs. Only cooking six chops….what do you think ?
Erica says
Definitely let us know how it turns out! I think it is a good idea!
Lyn says
I have 4 Thick Center Cut chops. Will I need to adjust cooking time? Amount of other ingredients? I hope to get them in before I leave for work. Thank you.
Emily says
It may need just a little longer, but check it at the regular time. You should be fine keeping the other ingredients the same.
Casie says
I only had cream of mushroom and cream of broccoli :(. Hope it turns out ok lol. Sounds like it’ll be good. And I just made a powder ranch recipe from online too so wish me luck lol Also could you throw on a can of peas instead of frozen? That’s all I have
Kirsten says
In the crock pot now. Didn’t have ranch mix, so just sprinkled salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and basil on the chops. Looking forward to dinner tonight. Thanks.
Kirsten says
My family liked this so much that I’m making it again today for our Valentine’s dinner.
barbara says
Help please I just started making it and I added the water.. someone please help
Erica says
Yikes! How did it turn out? Hopefully it was still ok. :/
Lori says
I used two cans of cream of mushroom and a half an envalope of Lipton onion soup. Yummy. Made stuffing and green beans for the sides.
Erica says
Oh those are wonderful side ideas! Thank you for the suggestions!
Lele says
Trying this today….don’t have cream of mushroom soup, so am using cream of celery and cream of chicken, but am adding 1/4 cup chopped canned mushrooms….can’t wait to see how this turns out…
Echo says
I’m sure those substitutions will work great. Thank you!
Evelyn wishnie says
Been looking for a good crockpot recipe for an hour. Will try this today.don’t have cream of mushroom but will use can of mushrooms as someone suggested. Also a little onion soup mix.
Erica says
Great idea! Let us know how it turns out!
Brooklyn says
Trying to eat better and my cooking is criminal unless I cook in a crockpot. Going to get the ingredients for this tomorrow. Sounds yummy!! Love anything cooked with mushroom anything. 🙂
Janet P. says
I am using McCormick Montreal chicken on the chops, one small onion cut up and can of Heart Healthy mushroom soup. I threw in some baking potatoes on top. Also put in 1/2 cup water. Should be fantastic and soooo easy. Will let you know.
stacey says
I’ve made this a few times and the gravy part is not thick and it seems runny.. what do I do
Emily says
If you like it a little thicker, try dissolving a tsp or two of corn starch in 1/4 c cold water, then whisk that into the gravy. When you hear it up, it will thicken.
Mary butler says
Love these pork chops!
Will this work with chicken breasts also?
Erica says
Haven’t tried them with chicken before but I am sure they would be fine! Let us know how they turn out if you try it!
Kelly says
I have this in the crockpot now and my daughter does not like mushrooms so I added 2 cans of cream of chicken and 1 can of cream of mushroom so she wouldn’t notice the mushrooms but it would still have alittle of the flavor….ha. Plus, I only had thick pork chops. I pray it turns out great! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Erica says
Let us know how it turns out!
Stephanie says
Can you use frozen pork chops or should they be thawed?
Erica says
We haven’t used frozen– They would probably be ok though! Just check them for doneness before serving
kayla says
If the pork chops are on top of one another will they still have the same taste or should they be flat?
Erica says
They should probably be spread out as much as possible. Some overlap doesn’t hurt– you probably just don’t want they stacked on top of on another for cooking
Brian says
Amazing that people cannot read directions
AnitaH says
I agree! I think they just need some reassurance, especially if they didn’t have the certain ingredients that the recipe called for! It shows that they are interested in making the meal as close to the instructions as possible! Kudos the ones who do that!
Tricia says
Got everything in the crockpot before I saw all the comments about the saltiness. Oh well, I threw in a small, peeled potato so we shall see. So far it smells wonderful! Thank you!
Lisa says
Was wonding if can bake in oven and for how long.
Echo says
Yes, you can bake it. Place the ingredients in a 9×13 pan and cover it with foil Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to an hour. Thanks for asking!
Nancy says
“Happy Moneysaver” site has a good copycat Hidden Valley Ranch recipe. Just use less salt.
Kristen says
I thought I was supposed to make the soup…i added water. Will this still taste good
Favorite Family Recipes says
It should still taste ok– you might just want to add some chicken bouillon to enhance the flavor. Hope this helps!
Marta says
Made this with just one can of mushroom soup and a little bit of bottled ranch dressing. Got rave reviews and smelled delicious when it was cooking.
Heather says
I didn’t have a packet of ranch mix, but I saw someone earlier say that 1/4th of a cup of ranch dressing would do about the same. I also only had 1 can of cream of mushroom, so I used half a chicken bullion cube dissolved in a can’s woth of whole milk, along with 1/4th~ a teaspoon of cornstarch to help thicken it a little. Hopefully that does the trick. I’ll come back later and let you guys know how it went. Hopefully it’s a success story!!
Favorite Family Recipes says
Hey Heather! How did it turn out for you?
Jack says
What size cans???? You didn’t actually give a recipe you gave a rundown of ingredients, those are two different things.
Favorite Family Recipes says
So sorry we didn’t include the can sizes. I have updated the recipe. Thank you for catching that! Hope this helps!
Stephanie says
ah, I just used the bottle ranch too, having only read half the comments … I’ve already mixed it in so hope it turns out okay!? :-l The couple that mentioned hasn’t left a review after the fact … would love to know now as I could dump and restart – wash off the pork chops.
Favorite Family Recipes says
You should be just fine! It will taste a little different but they will still be ok! Hope this helps!
Greg says
We have made this recipe a couple of times and found that the ranch dressing mix, or a home made version, was to salty for our tastes. This last time in place of the Ranch dressing mix we substituted a dry onion dip/soup mix recipe we found on the internet years ago that is low sodium and it was less salty and gave the recipe another taste.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup dry onion flakes (also called dehydrated onion)
1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
1. In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients.
2. Store in an airtight container.
Favorite Family Recipes says
Thank you so much for sharing how you have adapted this recipe to better suit your needs 🙂 So glad it worked so well for you!
Julia says
I’ve been making these for a while but never thought to comment until now. This recipe is great! The chops always come out super tender and the gravy makes it seem like I spent way longer in the kitchen than I did. We personally like to serve ours over rice, since it is a nice texture with the soft pork chop.
Favorite Family Recipes says
Hi Julia- thank you so much! I am so happy to hear you like this recipe so much! I love the idea of serving them over rice. Thanks for sharing and for the 5-stars! 😀
