Rave Reviews ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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! – Mary
We discovered this recipe a few months ago and it is my favorite way to eat pork chops. It is a family favorite! – Melissa
I am a big fan of crock pot meals and this is a favorite recipe for 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! 😊 – Carol
Great Grandpa’s Famous Pork Chops
This easy Crock Pot Pork Chops recipe came from my great-grandpa and was passed down to my mom, then to us. 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. It’s a cozy, comforting, no-fuss meal that only takes about 5-minutes to prep.
As it slow cooks, it makes the most flavorful gravy and fork-tender pork chops. They practically melt in your mouth!
My great-grandpa used two cans of cream of mushroom soup, but I like to use one can cream of chicken and one of mushroom for a brighter dimension. No need to add water – just pour the soup in and let the slow cooker do the work.

Ingredients Needed
- Pork Chops: I 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 the internal temperature reaches 145° F before serving.
- 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.
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.
- Lower the Sodium: 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.
- Chicken Instead of Pork. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be used in place of the pork chops. Please note that chicken needs to reach an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
- Additional 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.
How to Make Crock Pot Pork Chops
- Prepare the Crock Pot: Use a slow cooker liner or spray the inside of the crockpot with baking spray. Place the pork chops in the Crock Pot.
- Add Seasoning: 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. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops.
- Set the CrockPot: Place the lid on the Crock Pot and set to low. After 4-6 hours, pork chops are fully cooked and ready to serve.
What to Serve on the Side
The creamy gravy that cooks along with the pork chops in the crock pot 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 gravy is also delicious served with homemade rice or over egg noodles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Bone-in pork chops work great in this recipe. They may take slightly longer to cook, just make sure they reach an internal temperature of 145°F before serving.
No, you will need to thaw pork chops before using them in this recipe. According to the USDA, frozen pork chops 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!
No browning is necessary. This is a true dump-and-go slow cooker recipe. However, if you want a little extra flavor, you can sear the pork chops 1-2 minutes on each side before adding the seasonings and placing them in the Crock Pot.
A few tips for moist, tender pork chops in a slow cooker. First, coat the pork chops completely in the seasonings. 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 4-6 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.
If you’d like a thicker gravy, make a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water in a small bowl. Remove the pork chops from the slow cooker and pour the remaining gravy into a small saucepan. Stir the slurry into the gravy and cook on medium heat until thickened – this will only take a few minutes.

We want to hear from you! Please leave a review.
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 !!!
