Melt-in-Your-Mouth Pork Chops
This crock pot pork chop recipe, a cherished family heirloom passed down from my great-grandpa, offers a simple yet flavorful meal that practically melts in your mouth. My mom fondly recalls enjoying these during college visits with my great-grandpa, whose original recipe used two cans of cream of mushroom soup; personally, I prefer a blend of cream of chicken and mushroom for a brighter gravy. Remember, no water is needed, just use the soup straight from the can, creating a rich, savory comfort food your family will love.
Key Ingredients
With only 4 ingredients and 5-minutes of prep, this pork chops in the crock pot recipe is a lifesaver on hectic days.
- Pork Chops: You can use boneless or bone-in pork chops for this recipe.
- Ranch Seasoning Salad Dressing and Recipe Mix: I prefer the Hidden Valley brand seasoning mix.
- Cream of Chicken Soup: The Campbell’s brand is my go to when making this recipe. When I don’t have it on hand, I make my own cream of chicken soup recipe.
- Cream of Mushroom Soup: For a quick and convenient meal, Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom is what I use. When I have more time, and want more mushrooms in the gravy, I make my own cream of mushroom soup recipe.
Gravy Tip:
To cut down on the salt content or to simply reduce the sodium in the gravy for this recipe, use low-sodium cream soups. You can also make your own cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soups and control the amount of salt.
How to Make Pork Chops in the Crock Pot
- Prepare the Crock Pot: Use a slow cooker liner or spray the inside of the crockpot with baking spray for easier clean up.
- Add Seasoning: Place the pork chops in the Crock Pot. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over each pork chop front and back.
- Combine the Soups: In a separate bowl, combine the two cream soups and mix well. I prefer cream of mushroom and cream of chicken, but cream of celery can also be used in the combination. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops. You don’t need to stir it.
- Set the CrockPot: Place the lid on the Crock Pot. I recommend cooking on the low setting for around 6 hours. The pork chops are fully cooked at this point, and the most tender.
Substitutions and Additions
- Cream Soup Substitutions. You can adjust the flavors of the gravy according to the type of cream soup you use. Cream of Celery or Cream of Onion can be substituted for either cream soup in the recipe, or you can use two of the same flavor.
- Type of Pork Chop. We usually use thin boneless pork chops for this Crockpot pork chops recipe, but you can also use bone-in chops. If you use a thicker chop, make sure to adjust the cooking time.
- Frozen Pork Chops. Thaw pork chops before using them in this recipe. According to the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), frozen foods can take too long to reach a safe internal temperature in a slow cooker. This can result in food borne illnesses – and no one wants that!
- Chicken Instead of Pork. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be used in place of the pork chops. Serve the chicken breasts whole, or shred the chicken into the gravy and serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
- Seasonings. The packet of ranch dressing mix contains plenty of seasonings, but feel free to add fresh herbs, sautéed onions, minced garlic, garlic powder, or pepper to suit your tastes.

Notes
Tips for this recipe:
- Condensed cream of celery soup can be substituted for cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken soup.

What to Serve with Crock Pot Pork Chops
These slow cooker pork chops with creamy gravy is delicious served over mashed potatoes. You literally don’t have to do anything extra to make the gravy. Once the pork chops are done, you can just use a slotted spoon or tongs to get the pork out of the crockpot and use whatever remains as gravy. My go-to meal is serving the pork chops and gravy with mashed potatoes and a side of steamed vegetables. The creamy gravy is also delicious over rice or egg noodles.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have a few tips for moist, tender pork chops. First, coat the pork chops in the seasonings before placing them in the crockpot. Next, make sure the pork chops are covered with the soup mixture. Lastly, cook them on low until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees. This should take approximately 6-7 hours with most slow cookers.
You do not need to add any water or milk. Do not follow the instructions on the can. You only use the condensed soup.
Yes, chicken can be used instead of pork. The flavor and texture will be a little different (because you are using a completely different kind of meat) but it will still taste great!
Bone-in pork chops work great in this crock pot pork chops recipe. You don’t need to adjust the cooking time or temperature. I find that center cut, bone-in pork chops are a little more moist and tender when used with this recipe.
This recipe can be made without the ranch seasoning. If you don’t like the taste of ranch or don’t have it on hand, I recommend substituting other seasonings. Fresh or dried herbs along with garlic powder and onion powder will add flavor to the slow cooker pork chops.

Very good and easy to fix in the crock pot.
This was a very elagant dish, and was very complementary with the yellow rice.
Tried this because I was looking for something to put together early and then forget about till dinner time. Was easy. Tasty, too, but was on the salty side. Next time I won’t use the whole packet of Hidden Valley Ranch.
This dish was so easy! It tastes delicious and came out soooo tender. I will be using this recipe often.

We give it 5 STARS!!!
Loved this
Delicious
Easy and tasty!
I LOVE THIS EASY RECIPE. SAVES LOTS OF TIME AND TURNS OUT SO TENDER. MIGHT JUST USE LIPTON ONION SOUP INSTEAD OF RANCH, ESPECIALLY WITH CHICKEN BREASTS.
I would love to hear how the Lipton onion soup mix turns out, please come back and let us know what you think if you try it!
THIS SOUNDS WONDERFUL. AND VERY EASY. I MIGHT EVEN SWITCH THE RANCH TO DRY FRENCH ONION SOUP MIX. THANK YOU.
Please let us know if you try it! I would love to hear how it turns out!
Omg! So easy and SOOOO good. I am a senior/ grandmama so I make a full recipe and freeze for future dinners. And it has become a recipe for special occasions over time. Grandkids ask for it for their birthdays. We have even skipped the ham and made this for Easter. I don’t change up the recipe. However, I do use a center cut pork chop on the thicker cut; skipping the bone in, we want the meat!! And a crock pot liner. (Just easier for me to clean.) I have a granddaughter that slices fresh mushrooms and adds just before serving. We serve with Jasmine rice. This is just a yummy dish. The pork chops are never dry or tough. I cook on low pretty much all day! Crock pot cooking has always been my way to cook for a long time. Flavors come together better. This is definitely a go to fav!❤
Love this and has become a weekly favorite
This is a super easy recipe and the pork chops turn out so tender. I make this dinner often.
I love this recipe, only I changed it up a little, I used Garlic Mushroom soup instead of the regular one, with the chicken soup. I serve it with cheesy garlic mashed potatoes and a salad. there is never enough left over.
I Love pork chops or pork steaks, my son won’t eat pork so If I make this dish it would be all mine LOL I have all the ingreadients so that what’s on the menu today Thank you for sharing this great Recipe.
We discovered this recipe a few months ago and it is my favorite way to eat pork chops. It is a family favorite!
Easy weeknight meal, great protein and great flavor. Works for everyone!
Delicious will make again and again
Quick and easy, always tender and flavor full
I am a big fan of crock pot meals and this is a favorite recipe fir my family. When grandkids are with us they clean their plates clean when I serve. They enjoy the sauce over the mash potatoes too. So…kid approved, Grandma happy😊
Wonderful!
We love this recipe at our house. Friends ask for it all the time when we have pot luck dinners.
I love this recipe, it’s so easy and yummy and my 3 very picky eaters actually eat them also
good and flavorful, really need to cook low and slow
I love this easy & delicious dish, it breaks up the status quo of my weekly dinners perfectly!!
This my favorite crock pot recipe for pork. YUM!
Great tasting recipe, I used 2 cans of cream of chicken soup since my husband isn’t a fan of cream of mushroom. Turned out great. It’s a recipe I’ll be making in the future.
This recipe is the only way I make chops in the crockpot! They always come out tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The gravy is excellent. I use bone-in pork chops only. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Delicious moist chops. Easy to make. This is a keeper!
These pork chops were a family favorite!
My whole family loved this recipe. I’ve also made for company and got rave reviews for it. So flavorful and tender. Perfect with mashed potatoes to soak up all that yummy gravy. Thank you…this is a keeper.
Love these pork chops. Such an easy dinner recipe.
This is my favorite recipe for pork chops! So easy and truly melts in your mouth. I have shared this with all my family and friends.
These porkchops was tender and juicy. My family loved them❤️
Just love this recipe. Easy,tasty and pork chops were very juicy & tender. Loved the gravy over mashed potatoes. Thank you
This easy recipe is fool proof! The pork chops are fork tender and the creamy gravy is delicious. I use a can of cream of chicken soup and a can of cream of mushroom soup. I serve this recipe with mashed potatoes and peas.
This is one of my husband’s favorite meals! Try it, you won’t be disappointed!
This reminds me of a recipe my grandmother made. Will be making this one a lot
Love this recipe, so easy to make and so good to eat. Have also used chicken instead of pork chops. Now one of my favorite recipe to make and take to someone’s home, after a death or sickness.
Easy and delicious. Great for the family
This recipe is truly as good as it looks and so so easy to make, if you are teaching your child how to cook I highly recommend this recipe and let them be the one that receives the praise of how good it turns out, YES that’s how good this one is, pairs very well with mash potatoes.
Yes! This is great advice, it’s such a great beginner recipe. Seriously anyone can make it!
This recipe my husband and my kids will eat. The pork chops work better for my family cooked this way since they are more tender. And it is so simple to make.
Super easy and very tasty recipe. We’ve made this several times. Thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome! So glad you liked it!
Excellent crock pot pork chops & I’ve used chicken also
I tried these pork chops and they tasted marvelous 🤤
So glad you liked them!
Going to try this real soon
I give this recipes recently and believe me…it was so good. Easy to put together and I will be cooking it as directed and enjoying. This replaces the way of oven baking in replace and using the crockpot during summer months especially you might not want to overheat the kitchen. I rate it 5 stars.
Thanks so much for the 5 stars! I totally agree, I love not having to heat up the house in the summer when I can help it. Crock Pot all the way!
I made this for my husband tonight and he loved it! He even had plenty left over to take with him to work. He was getting tired of the same old stuff every week. Thank you for sharing this recipe!!
Of course! So happy to hear that he loved it so much! It’s one of my husband’s favorites too. It is a common request!
This looks so easy and yummy! Going to make this on Sunday. Bought a huge pork loin on sale and cut it into chops and froze them. So I have everything to make these.
Great idea to cut up a pork loin, please let us know how it turns out!
This a quick and easy recipe that you can use pork or chicken to cook. It is delicious with both.
My husband is a diabetic, so as a family we watch our sodium and sugar intake. As far as the soups go, I would suggest the low sodium ones. Same thing for the ranch powder. Aside from that, I absolutely LOVE how easy this recipe is. Can’t wait to try it with the low sodium suggestions.
Yes you can definitely go for low sodium or make your own!
This recipe is so good. I make this at least once a week. It is so flavorful. YUMMY!!
Thanks so much! I am so glad you like it so much!
The pork chops are so tender they just fell apart. And it was very kid friendly. Thank you
This is such a simple recipe. My whole family love it and always ask when we’re having it next. Thank you Family Favourites
Thank you, Alison! I’m thrilled this is now a favorite in your family!
Yummy, loved them and easy. Love a good pork chop.
My family loved this recipe. The pork chops were so tender and flavorful. I will be making this again.
I have made this several times. It never dissapoints. The pork chops always come out so moist and flavorful.

I tried this recipe for my family, and they liked it so much. There were no leftovers. I made a double recipe and they gobbled it up.thank you for sharing your recipes 😋.
Wow! So glad they liked it so much! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve made this recipe twice, so far and they turned out perfect, everytime. Fork tender and flavorful, simple and inexpensive to make.
I really loved this recipe. Pork Chops in Crock Pots with cream soups are fantastic 👍
I’ve been making something similar to this for a long time. My recipe calls for cabbage and onions plus the soups mentioned in your recipe and pork chops. Slow cooked together makes an entire meal. Sooooo good. But I may give this version a try – have never added dry ranch dressing mix – may give it an extra kick!
Made this awhile back and my family loved it. It was tender and flavorful.
This flavor combo is delicious, such a great flavor on the pork chops. I could see this working with chicken as well, (I’ll be trying that next). The Pork chops were so tender, and not dry. Perfect with mashed potatoes, rice, and even pasta! I will make this over and over again. Adults and kids all loved it. We had no left overs!
I have tried it with potatoes and rice but have yet to try it with pasta! I am sure it is delicious. I will have to try it with a wide egg noodle or something. That seems like it would be a good fit. Thanks for the suggestion!
I’ve been making these for years, it’s a family favorite! My son asks for it every year on his birthday!
easy to start in the morning before you go to work and ready when you get home. even the gravy tastes great on just boiled potatoes(my mothers cheat).
Such a great idea to serve over boiled potatoes! Thanks for sharing!
My whole family loved this recipe. The pork chops were very flavorful and tender. Definitely a favorite.
I am not one for pork but this recipe changed my mind.This is the only way I will ever make pork,thanks for the recipe.
Oh my goodness!!! I made this recipe 2 weeks ago! Back story, my mom 🥺 passed in January and she was a wonderful cook! Every week I make my dad a homemade meal. Well we took this over and he LOVED it!! He said they were the most tender chops he’s ever had! And that is saying something compared to my moms cooking:) So easy to prepare and delicious!!!♥️
Hi Tonya – I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She sounds like she was a wonderful mother and wife. It warms my heart to hear that this recipe was reminiscent of her cooking and that it brought your family together. This is exactly why we started this blog and why we keep sharing recipes. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
I’ve made this recipe twice , but with slivered onions . Absolutely yummy over mashed potatoes ! Thank u again..
Ooh I love the idea of using slivered onions! So glad this was a hit!
This recipe is a real lifesaver. It’s so simple to put together, but that’s not the best part. The best part is how wonderful the pork chops (or chicken) taste. Also, how tender the pork chops are. They are fork tender and literally melt in your mouth. This is perfect. I made it with chicken too, and it was equally delicious. The only problem is deciding whether to serve it with potatoes, noodles or rice.
I love that you made this with chicken too! I keep meaning to try it with chicken but always just go back to pork haha thanks for sharing your success!
This is a very simple recipe which I like a lot! The chops cooked up very tender and paired well with mashed potatoes and corn, our favorite vegetable combo.
We love it with mashed potatoes too. Will have to add corn to the mix next time! Thanks for the suggestion!
Love this easy crockpot recipe. The pork chops are so tender and my husband loved them.
Thank you, Kelly!
This is one of my fav. So easy so flavorful. You have got to try it
I have made this recipe several times and my family loves it. So easy and the most tender pork chops ever.
So glad you all liked it! Thanks!
dont have any creamed soups what can i do insted
We have a recipe to make the canned cream of chicken soup from scratch: https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/condensed-cream-of-chicken-substitute/
My family loves it!!!
What can I substitute for the Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix?
I was thinking maybe Liptons Onion Soup Mix. Other suggestions?
I haven’t tried that but that should work.
My family and friends love this recipe! It’s simple to make and I get lots of compliments every time I make it!
Thanks, so glad you all like it!
Used breakfast chops the first time. Fall off the bone is correct. This time using center cut bone in. Love the ease of this recipe. It is now my go to recipe for chops. Wife loves these, and she’s a tough sell.
Glad it was a hit!
Was it too salty?
The pork chops definitely did fall apart. I would say, however, the flavor was not very good. It tastes like canned soup, respectfully, canned soup is what I used, as per the recipe. So, the texture was incredible, yet, the flavor was sub par. Perhaps I will adventure to seek other flavors with this recipe, but as it is, not my favorite way to cook pork chops. If you are not adverse to canned soup flavors, the recipe does mention and teach how to use your own soup. I will aspire to try that next time, as the texture of these pork chops were amazing. This is an excellent quick recipe that anyone who is not picky, like myself, would surely enjoy. Give it a try, for sure, and see for yourself. It isn’t always easy to get, pork chops to gain the texture that this recipe did, in the crock pot. My one regret is using pre-made soups. Otherwise, this is the go-to method for making tender and delicious pork chops in the crock pot!!
Can I sear the pork chops before putting them in the crockpot?
Yes, of course! Thanks for asking!
Just put mine in the Crock. No need to add water?
No need to add water! I hope you enjoyed the pork chops!
Instead of dry Ranch seasoning can I use bottled Ranch? I need to use some up. Thanks!
It will add too much liquid to the mix to use bottled Ranch without decreasing the liquid in other ingredients, which will change the taste and consistency of the recipe. I wouldn’t recommend it. Thank you for asking!
This was delicious!!! I was looking for a crock pot pork chop recipe, and I am so glad this is the one I went with. The mixtures of the soups and the ranch seasoning created a delicious and super tender pork chop meal! You have three “Yays” from my family! I think I will try it with chicken too, but I will definintely be making it with chops again soon! Thank you!
Thanks for your nice comment! I am so glad you went with this recipe too 🙂 I hope you will come back for more! We have also done this with chicken and it turns out great, especially if you slice the chicken thin or use chicken tenderloins. I don’t know why but when I do it with chicken the sauce seems a little too thick so I will often add a little chicken broth to thin it out. Thanks again!
I’ve made this recipe for probably 30 years. One thing I add, couple thick cut potatoes & slices of onion to the bottom of the pot. My husband loves it.
That is a great idea. Thank you for sharing!
Was very easy and came out great. Cooked on low for 8 hours and was perfect sauce and the meat was very moist. My wife thought a bit more seasoning but I thought it was good. Served over white rice. This is a keeper recipe.
Thank you, Ed! I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe!
Can you add baby carrots?
Yes, of course! If you don’t like them too soft you can add them half way through the cooking time. Thanks for asking!
This has been one of my favorite pork recipes ever since I ran across it. However, instead of chops, I do it with about a 2.5-3.0 lb pork roast. There is much that can be done with the leftovers. I cut the meat into bite size pieces and mix in some cooked pasta and veggies of choice (with the leftover gravy, of course).
Good to know! Thank you for sharing this. Serving leftovers with pasta and veggies sounds delicious!
Do you think I can mix the ranch dressing with the soup? Instead of coating the pork chops first? And then pour everything over the chops. I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Absolutely delicious and tender. We used 2 cans of cream of chicken soup with 1/2 cup chicken broth. Served with mashed potatoes and peas. The gravy was so good. This I a real winner!
I’m so happy you like this recipe as much as we do! Thank you!
Can I use frozen pork chops.
Sure! Just add some more time. The gravy might be a little runny because of the frozen pork chops but you can thicken the gravy on the stove top if you need to. Just bring it to a simmer in a saucepan and then add a little cornstarch/milk mixture a little at a time until thickened. Hope this helps!
Excellent !* & so easy. 🌹
These are the only pork chops cooked in the crockpot that everyone loves! The first time I made them I only had Golden Mushroom soup…mushroom soup I use! I Pork chops come out juicy and flavorful.
My husband and I loved how delicious and easy this recipe is! The pork chops are fork tender and flavorful! The gravy is the best part. It is so thick and creamy and the flavor is so savory! I used the thinner boneless pork chops. I served them with mashed potatoes and a veggie. Next time, I will serve it with rice or noodles.
Either way, this dish is a winner!
Absolutely Wonderful!!!
It was easy. Tasted good. No mess. No special care,and fast.
I needed recipes like this more often they are easy & everyone loves them
Best pork chop recipe ever. So easy to make also. Family loved it.
We LOVE this. We had everything on hand. Thank you for sharing.
My grandmother made this in a “thrift pot” a precursor to the Crock Pot. I have changed it a bit. I use golden mushroom condensed soup and some canned mushrooms. I also brown the pork shops. One of my favorite dishes.
I watch my 3-1/2 year old grandson and my 6 month old grandson. I have exactly 5 minutes to fix dinner. This meal was not only quick, it was also delicious! Both my husband and grandson liked it. It is a winner. Thank you for the recipe.
I haven’t made this yet. But I do do chicken like this except I don’t put the ranch dressing mix in it. I’ll have to try that. I serve it with egg noodles and stove top stuffing (it’s so good). But I was wondering if you could use cream of potato soup 🤷♀️. May try that. Thanks for sharing 🥰 Have a wonderful day 🙏🏻
Oh I haven’t tried this recipe with cream of potato soup! Did you try it? Let us know!
I made your crockpot pork chops and I enjoyed it. But instead of using cream of mushroom soup I used cream of onion soup. Next time I make it I’m going to but some onion.
Thank you Cheryl
My daughter (now 15) HATES and I mean has always HATED pork chops. I bought pork loin chops randomly on sale at Whole Foods and did a “quick recipe for chops” search thinking I’d give it another go… she LOOOOVES this recipe! Had two helpings! We put it over rice with a side of broccoli. Yum! I am making it again today and we decided to double up the soups because the sauce was so yummy. Thank you for this new addition to our family’s recipe book!
So glad this was a hit!!
My husband loves this dish. After I leave for work he puts all the ingredients in
the crockpot and then goes on his merry way. We make instant mashed potates and dinner couldn’t be any easier!
I truly love reading your recipes gives me some good ideas to choose from different from plain meals, I live alone but can still get your ideas Thank you
Thank you, Linda. I’m glad you’ve found some recipes you enjoy.
I am wondering if I can use frozen pork?
I would recommend either thawing them before hand or planning on a longer cook time!
It’s a great meal for moms that work and have children. Everyone should give it a try.
I tried this recipe today and I must say it was very delicious. The chops were so tender they fell off the bone! I served it with mashed potatoes, green beans and apple sauce. I can’t wait to make it again. This is a meal that is sure to impress!
I needed to give this a star in order to be able to make a comment.
I question the sodium content of this recipe. I gave. up Campbells soups years ago because of the sodium. Also the Ranch dressing is loaded with sodium. It was not noted the size of the envelope.
This sounds good, fast and easy.
We love the ranch seasoning from Trader Joe’s and that would work great in this recipe – I think it has less sodium! It is about two tablespoon of the ranch seasoning. We also have recipes for homemade cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup:
https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/condensed-cream-of-chicken-substitute/
https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/cream-of-mushroom-soup/
Campbells now has “Unsalted” Cream of Chicken soup and “Unsalted” Cream of Mushroom soup. You can also find several Ranch Dressing Mix without salt on Amazon and online, like MySALT “Sodium Free” Ranch Dressing Mix and Really Ranch Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix.
Can I add potatoes? To crock pot or would I need to add something more to help cook with the pork chops.
We haven’t tried that – but let us know how it turns out if you try it!
Can you make this with a pork tenderloin?
We haven’t tried it with a pork tenderloin, but let us know how it turns out if you try it!
I have made this 4 times now and everyone loves it!
Sorry but NO. MSG in ranch dressing and horrible ingredients in the canned soups, just yuck! Trader Joes has Ranch Powder with no preservatives or MSG. Learn to make cream sauce with real foods like cream and butter, tapioca flour works great to thicken.

Sorry, but … I’m sure we all would like to eat healthier, but this isn’t a health foods/all-natural recipe site. Just because you don’t like the ingredients doesn’t mean that others won’t. Everyone’s different (I know, that still comes as a shock to some people). And FWIW, I think it’s kinda rude to be telling the author “NO” and ordering the interwebz to “learn” things (cream & butter may be “rea”l foods but they’re not exactly bananas & kale, now are they?). No one asked. If you need to be negative in all caps and say things like “yuck” and “horrible,” why not take that negativity someplace else and find a site that has recipes you like, and leave those of us who don’t mind using some prepackaged foods once in a while alone – ? #positivityforthewin
Thank you for responding to that rude commenter!
This is delicious and easy.
Right?! This is a recipe. Add what you want, change what you want but you do not need to “bad mouth” it. My gosh.
I so agree,Deb.
This recipe is scrumptious and is a treat to eat.
I’ve never left a comment before, but I loved your response to the incredibly rude, pompous person that left such a negative review.
Oh, this is DELICIOUS AND EASY, perfect for people who work and have families. Thanks
Very impressive
Ok, I want to make this but don’t see the actual recipe. How many chops/pounds do I use and how much ranch seasoning?
If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will see the recipe card! Also, you can click “Jump to Recipe” near the top of the post.
We don’t have a crock pot. Could this be done in a Creuset cask iron casserole in the Rayburn oven? If so, how long would it need to cook at 150deg C. Finished meat temp would be 70deg C? The recipe looks good, want to try it.
Roger.
We haven’t tried it on the stovetop, so I can’t say for sure. The pork would have to be cooked very low and slow. Let us know how it turns out if you try it!
Made this as per recipe. Used bone in thin chops and cooked them for 6 hours. They were very good and tender. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it was a little too salty. Will use reduced sodium soup next time.
I made these and I’m not a big fan of mushrooms but this was so delicious. I will definitely be making them again very soon. Loved the fact that the recipe was so easy with only 4 ingredients. Thank you
I found this dish to be very salty because of the salt content in the Ranch mix and Soups in the mix. Won’t make again.
I wish I could really rate the recipe but I messed up by mistakenly adding onion soup mix instead of ranch. I cooked for 8 hrs on low but 2 hrs toward the end I realized my mistake. I then added about half a cup of ranch dressing with about 2 Tbsp of cornstarch into crockpot and cooked remaining 2 hours. It was delicious but I’m sure it doesn’t taste like the original recipe. I cooked up some egg noodles and added to the meat and sauce. It tastes like pork stroganoff.
This is in the crock pot as we speak!
I have an 8oz shaker bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch as so many home cooks use the seasoning, it’s more fiscally prudent than individual packets! 😋 (around $9.99)
Put a few cloves of fresh minced garlic and sliced a leftover onion. It’s only been on for a few minutes and it smells ah-mazing!
Yayy me!!! 💖
Do I need to brown the chops first? Thank you!
You don’t have to, but you can!
Very easy to make. The pork chops melt in your mouth. Very nice gravy for mashed potatoes.
Followed recipe exactly. Came out AWESOME!! Don’t change a thing. Fantastic just the way it is!!
Amazing! I did Brine pork chops for 30 mins because I have bad luck with them being chewy also I guess my crock pot on low is more like high so I checked them after 3 hours and they were done they were about 1/2 inch thick. Ohhhhh Soooo yummy gravy was so and good pork was so tender! Thank you this is def a keeper! Husband and I LOVED it 🙂
Made this for my wife and we both loved it. Will make again.
This recipe is so easy and sooooo delicious! We have a pig and a cow butchered each year for fresh, local, hormone free meat. The pork chops and steaks ALWAYS turn out dry and tough, no matter how I cook them. It has been quite the challenge to cook them so that we would enjoy them. I made this and we were both blown away by how tender and flavorful this meat was, especially with how few ingredients the recipe calls for!
I did add some rosemary, thyme, and pepper for a little extra flavor.
I am wondering, has anyone has tried this recipe using chicken???
My mom makes it with chicken and very good with rice
How thin are the pork chops.
Usually an inch or less!
This was a crowd pleaser!!! Thanks!!!
I made one slight adjustment, I used half a pack of regular ranch and half a pack of spicy ranch. Yum!!
? do you mix the condensed soups with any water
No– you just put them straight in with no water or milk added.
I will try this recipe thank you
Made this last night and it was soooo good. Will definitely be making this again. 😋
Can I use 4 pork chops instead of 8?
Sure!
Be nice if you had the cooking time and low or high in this recipe. Ive read it twice and still cant find it.
The recipe card can be found at the bottom of the page. From step three of the recipe card: “Combine soups in a bowl and stir. Pour evenly over pork chops. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours (or high heat for about 3-4 hours).” Hope this helps!
Yes, on low, it is 6-8 hours: on high 3-4 hours.
any suggestions for Substitute for ranch packet?
I don’t have a suggestion, but you could google “homemade ranch seasoning” for some ideas!
Could I use a couple of pork tenderloins; and if I did, would I lower the cooking time?
I haven’t tried this recipe that way, so I can’t say. Let us know how it turns out if you do try it!
I have made with French onion soup mix
A beef stew packet or stroganoff packet … works out with pork too and the soups. You could add sour cream in place of cream of chicken soup if you prefer …. Anyway, just some ideas!
snowed in (MN )so I used the spice packet I had from Penzey’s !!! It contains 10 different spices. But I cannot let you know how good it is until 6 hours from now. Also I used Baked Potato Soup cuz I am avoiding going out until tomorrow at 11:00 am
man this was good ! For me it was ONLY 3 ingredients. Boneless pork chops, Penzeys seasoning mixture, baked potato soup. The house smelled delicious !!!
So the recipe was easy and the first taste of those porkchops was beyond amazing i follow recipe exactly as described but i put 4 porkchops thin boneless with 1 can cream of mush and 1 can cream of chicken and only half bag of ranch packet. I poured.the gravy all over my mash and porkchops when put on plate but it.began to taste so salty soooo idk next time ill need to figure out if i need to buy unsalted cans or less ranch packet? No idea. It was still amazing and tender but the salty taste got to me.
If the recipe is too salty, you can use low sodium cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup!
I made this for my sister and her husband. They really enjoyed it. I’m making it again for my daughter’s family. She just had surgery. It’s such an easy dish to make. So simple and so tasty. I make mashed potatoes and serve it with a salad and crusty bread and cookies for dessert. Great meal!
How would you go about reheating these after freezing?
We haven’t tried freezing these before, so I am not sure!
I was a little hesitant at first but they turned out great! My kids loved it!!
I’m allergic to mushrooms. What can I use instead
You could use cream of celery!
This was so easy and delicious! I am not a good cook and everyone loved them!
Made this tonight for our dinner. My wife LOVED it and asked for it to be added to our regular meal list. Will also try the recipe with chicken.
Should I use bone in or boneless pork chops ?
We typically use boneless pork chops!
You always want bone in with any meat. That is where much of the flavor and tenderness comes from. They started removing bones because people didn’t like paying for a bone!
This sounds delicious – I love pork chops! Have you ever tried adding sliced potatoes to make a sort of scalloped potatoes?
I found cream of chicken and herb plus cream of onion and a can of cream of celery yum nice gravy
All mixed together? Or separate recipe?
Followed the directions to a tee and the pork chop was so dry. Used 1 inch thick chops, not juicy at all.
I’m sorry this didn’t turn out for you. If the pork chop was dry, it cooked too long. If you decide to try it again, reduce the cooking time.
I used thin cut porkchops. I reduced the time to 5 hours. The porkchops were tender and delicious.
These really are the easiest to make. Just dump all ingredients in crockpot and viola…dinner is served! These are my favorite meals!
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe! Will surely have this again! It’s really easy to make and it tasted so delicious! Highly recommended!
Delicious, big hit with the family. The pork chops were super tender.
very good and easy
Trying to make this. But I have no ranch packet and 1 can of cream of chicken. Can I use broccoli cheese soup
We haven’t tried that, so I can’t say one way or the other, but let us know how it goes if you try it!
This recipe is delicious as is written….however, I didn’t have a package of ranch so I added a half bottle of ranch dressing. Due to this it didn’t give it the kick it needed. (My fault) . So to give it a little more taste I added alot of paprika and about 1/2 cup of sour cream when it was finished cooking. Came out perfect! I served with egg noodles. Hubby lived it
FYI: You’re not supposed to lock the clamps on the slow cooker during cooking….only when traveling.
Looks fantastic, but over 1200 grams of sodium per serving is pretty bad….
That said, it isn’t difficult at all to dupe the ranch dressing packet to make it perfectly acceptable. I think the flavor would be amazing.
This is so delicious. I leave out the mushroom soup (just don’t like mushrooms)
So quick and easy to make.
Im the opposite! I left out the chicken soup lol
These are the best pork chops ever! Usually pork chops are not our first choice of meat for dinner but these are so good! 10/10!
I made this with chicken breasts also instead of chops,it was great!!
These come out so perfect and juicy! No more dry pork chops with this method of cooking. Thank you for sharing!
I am all about the recipes that have the word “easy” in the title!! It’s an added bonus that they are delicious!! Paired with some veggies & it’s one of my favorite meals!
This recipe is so good. Thanks for sharing
I’m going to do this , with the exception of using bbq sauce instead of soup.
So how did it turn out with the BBQ sauce instead of the soup ?
Is it possible to use a smaller slow cooker and halve the recipe?
Yes I think that would work!
i made this today but added fresh sliced mushrooms , 2 cans cream of chicken mushroom soup in place of individual cream of chicken & cream of mushroom plus a can of fire roasted tomatoes. I followed thru with thickening with cornstarch. It was amazing!!! The chops were about 2 inches thick and bone in,.
LOOK AT THE SODIUM !!!! YIKES ! THANKS BUT NO THANKS. WE WANT IT EASY, BUT WE ALSO WANT IT HEALTHY ! IF YOU COULD COME UP WITH A HEALTHIER SUBSTITUTE , THEN IT’S FOR ME AND MY FAMILY !!!
The Campbell’s soup and other soup brands offer condensed cream soups with no salt added. For less sodium in this recipe, you can use no-salt versions of the cream of chicken and mushroom soups.
Then pass on by… No need to leave a scathing comment just because it doesn’t suit your individual particular taste buds. SMH
What type of pork chops work best for this? Would boneless center cut chops turn out tender?
We have used several different cuts and they all turn out super tender! The slow cooking process really helps to tenderize the meat!
You can adjust any recipe. No need to be rude.
Exactly!
Get Low sodium? 🙄
You could use the seasonings dill, parsley etc in place of Hidden Valley mix.
when u use the 2 cans of soup do u use it with 2 cans of water
No, you just open the cans and empty the contents into the crock pot. Thanks for asking!
Do you mix the soups and then put them in?
You can, but you don’t need to.
Thank you I was wondering the same
I’m a over road trucker made this and it was delicious share with my dog over rice and her lip were smacking. THANK YOU
That’s a lot of sodium for your dog…
this was so good! made it exactly and when i took out the pork chops i added some cornstarch to the sauce to make a gravy. sooo yummy!
Made this and the wife loved it, thank you.
This is an awesome recipe….. My husband, who isn’t a fan of pork chops, loved the recipe!!
Great dish. Maybe I’ll add some pepper and my favorite pork seasoning for some added zip next time .
What a delicious meal! Anything that’s passed down by an amazing grandpa is bound to be delicious!
This looks really good! I’m going to try it, are the pork chops frozen when you put them in?
No, they are not frozen.
In the article it says frozen can be used, you just have to adjust the cook time. How much cook time should be added?
Using frozen pork chops will take closer to 4 hours on low or 8 hours on high, while fresh will take closer to 3 and 6 respectively.
These look incredibly comforting, and so easy too!
Another great recipe for my crock pot! Adding this to my dinner line up for the week; looks too good to pass up, indeed!
Campbell’s Chicken and rice soup works great? The recipe is called chicken lickin good pork chops it’s in the crock pot recipe book.
Thank you for the recipe, it was absolutely delicious and we all loved it!
Can I substitute the Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing with a Hidden Valley Ranch Dip packet?
I haven’t tried it that way before, but if you do try that you would need to add some more liquid.
Do you add the can of water per soup or just the actual soup?
Just the soup!
Excellent!! Added a package of fresh mushrooms and half a sliced sweet onion. Used the spicy ranch to add some kick. Served with garlic mashed potatoes with the gravy. Will be on my short list from now on.
I’m all about dump and let the crock pot do the work. These looks fantastic!
These pork chops make my mouth water. And the side choice is just perfect. One of my favorite combos!
These crock-pot pork chops were so delicious! They were enjoyed by all. Adding this to the monthly meal rotation.
This whole meal looks perfect for the fall! You had me hooked when I saw those potatoes and gravy!
This was so simple to make, great flavors!!
This is such a quick and easy recipe. No matter what size chops you have it will work. I usually make this for two people. I only use one can of soup but I add half a can of milk. Oh and using cream of chicken with herbs if you can find it is delish(I hate mushrooms). I have used thick and thin chops with this. With the thicker chops I recommend using a mallot with them to tenderize and make a little thinner to cook(which is what I do). I usually put the ranch seasoning on and use the mallot to tenderize(put in a plastic bag so the raw juices don’t go all over your kitchen)and then put some more ranch seasoning on when I put in the crockpot. No matter what this recipe is great! Side note….I have put frozen chops in the crockpot(forgot to thaw them the night before) and it still turns out great. Just make sure you give them extra cooking time like 10hrs. My co-worker does this also. Hope this helps.
I have frozen chicken breast for this recipe can I just follow the same recipe? And how long do you think I should cook it?
I haven’t tried it that way before, but I can’t see why not! Let me know how it turns out if you do try it!
I am going to try this recipe tonight for my family. Can rice be added underneath the pork chops? How much
Iiquid would need to be added? My mom states my dad used to cook pork chops and spread mustard on both sides and it was delicious. Would this recipe be ok to do that? Appreciate your feedback .
Hey, sorry we are just getting back to you! We haven’t tried those variations so I’m not sure how it would turn out! What did you end up doing?
I have 1 1/4” (thick) pork chops so how long should I cook them in the crock pot? Can’t wait to make them!
I would do 7 or 8 hours on low for that size of pork chop!
Also tender rise them with a mallot. That is what I did. It also makes them thinner to cook quicker. I put the ranch seasoning on them and then I pounded then a bit thinner. Then put on more of the ranch seasoning. They turned out so good.
Like everyone said it was indeed delicious. I used cream of chicken and cream of broccoli soup. My daughter does not like mushrooms.
This is heaven in a crock pot!!
I really dislike mushrooms,they make me nauseous when I eat them. Is there a substitute for the can or can I double the cream of chicken, the Recipe LOOKS delicious and I really want to try it.
Yes you can double the cream of chicken! I make it that way for guests who don’t like mushrooms.
Try cream of chicken with herbs…it really makes a difference. That is all I buy when I can find it.
Made this for the first time this evening. My parents and kids loved it. My parents kept repeating “delicious”. My son went for seconds. Fast, easy and great flavor.
Does the time change if my pork chops are 3/4″ thick and i am using an Instant Pot?
Check out our instant pot pork chop recipe for more details on cooking pork in the IP! https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/instant-pot-pork-chops-and-gravy/
I would really appreciate a picture to go with the recipe when printing it out. I’m more likely to make it later down the road when I have forgotten what it looks like.
Probably a silly question but should the pork chops be thawed??
Yes, we used thawed pork chops for this recipe! Cooking frozen meat in the slow cooker can be dangerous because it takes too long to get to a “safe” temperature.
I have cooked frozen meat right out of the freezer before and it turns out fabulous. A co-worker of mine does it also. We usually cook the dish about 10 hrs. We put the frozen meat in with all the seasonings before we go to work and by the time dinner comes it is done perfect.
Could you replace pork chips with chicken breast
We haven’t tried it that way before, but I don’t see why not!
Added baby potatoes sliced in half, my chops have been really juicy as the sauce was runny, so I thickened to make it gravy like. Thanks
Can you substitute cream of celery instead of cream of mushroom.
It will change the flavor profile, but I think texture-wise it should be okay.
if i wanted to double this recipe how would that change the cook time?? looking to cool on low, thanks!
Doubling the recipe won’t change the cook time at all. Thanks for asking!
Love this recipe. So glad I found again. I had copied it before but never can find it. So glad it was on here when I looked for it. Thank you so much.
I love experimenting with recipes. Instead of spraying my crockpot, I greased it with Country Crock margarine and added carrots, onions, and small potatoes. Cooked on low for 8 hours. It was fabulous!
I did these tonight in my Instant Pot! The flavor is absolutely perfect! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
I put a Package of sliced mushrooms and one sliced onion on top. My husband is a mushroom freak and an onion never hurts. Delish
Great recipe! Only thing i did differently was add onion mix and some mushrooms
These are the best pork chops. I sear mine a little bit. I am serving these tonight for a dinner party.
I’m sure they will love them as much as we do.
Thank you
Meat was tough followed recipe may have cooked too long 8 hours on low?
6 hours on low was perfect for me unless you are cooking veggies like carrots in it or your pork chops are bone in
Excellent recipe. Delicious!! Best way to cook pork chops.
Tried for the first time….absolutely delicious ❤️❤️❤️
DO you need to turn the chops over or let them sit the full cook time ?
You don’t need to turn the chops over. The crockpot does a great job of cooking everything evenly.
I’m always looking for something simple to make in the Crock-Pot. Well I think my I found my favorite. Everyone should try the easy pork chop recipe when you’re slow cooker with one can cream of mushroom soup when can cream of chicken soup an envelope of ranch style dressing and your pork chops put everything together in the pot and let it do its hours and it comes out so creamy and so tender the meat
So glad this recipe is a favorite of yours too! Thank you for your comment!
How would you make this wonderful recipe for just two people?
We love Pork Chops but with there being only two of us, 8 pork chops would be too much.
Thank you
Yes, that is a little tricky because the ingredients are already portioned out in envelopes and cans. I would suggest cutting the recipe in half and having leftovers, or make the whole recipe and freeze the portion you don’t use. It will freeze for up to a month and you can enjoy a pre-made meal in a couple of weeks. 🙂
Before you print there are options to choose from whether you want the photo, the notes, etc. There is also a plus minus scale for the portion you want to make.
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.
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! 😀
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.
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!
So, how much of this mixture does it take for the recipe? If all of it is required, who needs an airtight container? I tallied it up and came up with about 3 oz of ingredients, which seemed a reasonable amount for a batch of 3.6 lb of pork chops. When it was done, after 7 hours on lowest setting, the flavor was not at all overpowering, but rather delicious, according to my picky wife; In fact, good enough to take for lunch the following day. I also added ~1/2 lb of sliced baby bella mushrooms, a thinly sliced onion, a leftover toasted serrano pepper, and 2 or 3 crushed garlic cloves for extra texture and flavor. I served mine over mashed potatoes, while she had hers on a bed of Knorr alfredo noodles, to which was added lemon rind zest & freshly ground pepper. I’ve had to promise to make it again.
I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe. We do use all of the sauce in the Crock Pot for the pork chops and to serve over rice, noodles, or potatoes as you did. I love all of your additions to the recipe! Yum!
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.
You should be just fine! It will taste a little different but they will still be ok! Hope this helps!
What size cans???? You didn’t actually give a recipe you gave a rundown of ingredients, those are two different things.
So sorry we didn’t include the can sizes. I have updated the recipe. Thank you for catching that! Hope this helps!
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!!
Hey Heather! How did it turn out for you?
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.
I thought I was supposed to make the soup…i added water. Will this still taste good
It should still taste ok– you might just want to add some chicken bouillon to enhance the flavor. Hope this helps!
“Happy Moneysaver” site has a good copycat Hidden Valley Ranch recipe. Just use less salt.
Was wonding if can bake in oven and for how long.
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!
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!
Amazing that people cannot read directions
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!
If the pork chops are on top of one another will they still have the same taste or should they be flat?
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
Can you use frozen pork chops or should they be thawed?
We haven’t used frozen– They would probably be ok though! Just check them for doneness before serving
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 🙂
Let us know how it turns out!
Love these pork chops!
Will this work with chicken breasts also?
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!
I’ve made this a few times and the gravy part is not thick and it seems runny.. what do I do
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.
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.
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. 🙂
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.
Great idea! Let us know how it turns out!
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…
I’m sure those substitutions will work great. Thank you!
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.
Oh those are wonderful side ideas! Thank you for the suggestions!
Help please I just started making it and I added the water.. someone please help
Yikes! How did it turn out? Hopefully it was still ok. :/
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.
My family liked this so much that I’m making it again today for our Valentine’s dinner.
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
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.
It may need just a little longer, but check it at the regular time. You should be fine keeping the other ingredients the same.
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 ?
Definitely let us know how it turns out! I think it is a good idea!
I had 10 thin boneless and so 5 stacked on 5…layered the ranch dressing mix with a family size cream of mushroom soup…low for 8 hrs…so good on a plate of mashed potatoes
What size crock pot do you use?
I use a 6 qt but you can easily do it in a 4 or 5 qt.
Can you stack the chops
They can overlap but I don’t know if I would stack them. I don’t know if they will cook evenly if you have a lot of them stacked together. Hope this helps!
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!
We’re so happy you had a successful meal with this recipe! Thank you for sharing!
try low sodium cream of mushroom or chicken or celery soups- they pack a lot of salt per can also
Yes, that is a good idea if you are watching your salt intake. Thank you for the tip!
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?
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.
I picked up a hidden valley hang dip mix is this the same as what reciepe calls for?
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!
Hello, What stores sell the hidden valley dressing mix and in what section of the store?
thanks
You can find it at most grocery stores. I get a big container at Costco or you can find the packets at Walmart or grocery chains. It should be near all the bottled dressings. Hope this helps!
I actually made the same mistake in getting the ranch dip mix instead of dressing🙄 but the results were great! It was my first time so don’t know how the ranch dressing mix taste in it but the dip mix works perfect. I also did the 1 can cream of chicken and 1 can cream of mushroom ….. my family loved it and my oldest daughter is one of the pickiest eaters in the world ….thank you so much for the recipe 😁
Trying this with the ranch dressing mix recipe you provided in one of the comments! Wish me luck! 🙂
When you add the soups do you also add the can of water for each?
No, you just add the soup, not the water. Thank you for asking!
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! 🙂
I’ll have to try that!
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
It smells good so far!!!!!
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.
Hope he liked it! Did it taste as good as it sounded?
Yes it was but think next time ill use only a 1/2 a paket of ranch it was a littlw salty.
I don’t have ranch packets could I use lipton onion and mushroom packet?
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!
Can I use ranch if I have no ranch sauce
Using ranch would add a lot of extra liquid. I would stick with the ranch seasoning!
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…
I am SO glad that you liked it! Great addition ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds Yummy!! I was searching for a good Slow-cooker pork chop recipe.
Making these for dinner tonight.
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!
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 😉
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
Can I use 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom instead? Dont have any Cream of Chicken
Yes that is ok
My kids inhaled this. Going to be an ongoing dinner choice at our house
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
Did you ever get an answer? I question that as well.
Nope, you just add the soup.
No water…you want a gravy…not soup
It’s supposed to be a gravy not a soup. Water is not needed.
No it will be too “watery”!
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! 🙂
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…
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.
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
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!
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
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 🙂
Haven’t tried it. Let us know if you do and tell us how it is!
Could u do this recipe but w chicken???
N add carrots ??
Haven’t done it but I don’t see why not!
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 🙂
You just dump it in as is… Not prepared as soup! Enjoy!
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…
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!
I have hidden valley dips mix ( the original ranch ) is this what your taking about , or is this something totally different ?!
Love this site…and want to hear more ideas!
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.
How many people do you usually serve with 6-8 pork chops??
About 1 pork chop per person
Can you make it without the ranch packet? I thought I had another, but I don’t..
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.
Can the pork chops br frozen when put in the crock pot
yes, just cook them a little longer.. maybe 30 min or so
Just put this in the crock pot……..Sounds yummy and is an easy Sunday meal! Took all of 5 minutes!
Has anyone ever had to use frozen chops and if so did it turn out good
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.
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.
Unbelievable,thanx bunches.
Is there any alternatives to the soup like maybe just water or something
Maybe chicken broth, thickened with some cornstarch or flour.
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!!
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?
I am sure they would be ok!
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!
I only have bone in pork chops, is that ok?
Yes– that is totally fine!
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… 🙂
I only have bone in! Will that work?
im trying this now. hope it turns out well
Pinning to save ~ Planning to make very soon!!
Sounds delicious!!!
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!
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.
Do you need to add water?
Nope!
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.
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!
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. 🙂
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.
or French onion.
doing this recipe and added fresh mushrooms and roasted garlic sure it is going to be a big hit on jasmine rice
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!
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!
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!!
It should be ok! I haven’t tried it that way but I don’t think the two seasoning packets are all that different.
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?
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
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 🙂
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 make this all the time and only use one can of cream of chicken and it taste great!!
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.
Made this tonight for my husband`s b-day and it was rockin` good!!!
My Husband hates cream of mushroom soup, can I use two can of the cream of chicken?
Yes, that would work fine.
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.
Just put this in the crockpot! I only had thick, frozen chops, but I followed your directions anyway! Let’s see how this goes……..
How did it turn out? My chips are frozen to
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
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
Yes, that is what I did. I used only half a packet of Ranch dressing. 🙂
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.
We had this tonight and it was really good, but it was a little salty. Has anyone else had that problem?
I had the same problem, the pork chops were really moist but too salty. Anybody have ideas how to fix that?
Yes use a fourth of a cup of ranch dressing in bottle. Works just as good as package but not so salty
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!
What recipe so you us for salt free ranch? I have a salt free taco mix that’s great already. TIA
Shawn, what is your recipe for your ranch dressing? Please post it.
Deb J. Thank you
Could you share the ingredients for your ranch dressing?
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.
Hi ,
I’d love to know what you substituted for the ranch dressing???
Make your own Ranch dressing with less salt and use low sodium soup. Helps alot.
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!
That’s what I intend to do… Serve it over Brown Rice!
No water?
Do you use the large cans of soup (family size) or the same 10 oz. cans?
The 10 oz. cans.. Not the family size
Ive used chicken !
Do you add water as per can instructions or use cans that don’t require water. Thank you.
Sorry Emily. Saw the answer to my question further down.
You poor thing! All those questions and only four ingredients 🙂
I’m putting this together right now, and trying to find out if I need to add water. Can someone please help me out??
Nope, you do not need to add water to this recipe
Going home at lunch time to throw this in teh crock pot for dinner! Can’t wait.
This was so delicious and easy!!! It is definitely going in the rotation! Thank you so much!
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.
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.
Thanks. You guys are awesome.
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.
Glad you like it and your chocolate cobbler sounds amazing!
This was so delicious I made it Monday and am making it again on Thursday lol
What would the Carbs and Calories on this yummy Dish

I am so sorry you experienced this with our site. We will do our best to work with our ad managers to fix this problem. Thanks for the heads up and we will try to get this resolved so it is easier to leave a comment.
When you doubled the quantity for 8, did you also double the ingredients?
