Equipment

Instant Pot Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt to taste
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 (1 ounce) packet onion soup mix
2 (10.5 ounce) cans Cream of Mushroom Soup (or make your own, see notes above)
1 (1 ounce) package Hidden Valley Ranch mix
1 cup water
salt and pepper (optional, to taste)

Instructions

Pat pork chops dry and lightly season with salt, to taste. Set aside.
Press "sauté" function on the Instant Pot and add oil to coat the bottom on the pot.
When oil is hot, add pork chops (you may have to do this in batches) and sear on each side for about 3-5 minutes.
Place all the seared pork chops back in the Instant Pot. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the pork chops.
Add cream of mushroom soup over the top of the pork chops and then the ranch mix over top of the soup (no need to stir in-- you can stir it in after they are done cooking).
Pour 1 cup water around the sides (this will make it easier for the IP to steam up and seal), place the lid on the Instant Pot and set tab to "sealing".
Press "manual" and set for high pressure for 30 minutes then allow to slow release for 10 minutes.
Do a quick release and remove lid. Remove pork chops from Instant Pot and set aside.
Using a whisk, stir together the sauce in the Instant Pot, forming a gravy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon gravy over pork chops and serve with rice or potatoes.

Notes

Instant Pot Note: We use a 6-quart Instant Pot brand pressure cooker that we bought in 2016. Different or newer versions may be more sensitive to the "BURN" notice. If you are concerned about the burn notice, please refer to this article: "What Does 'Burn' Mean on My Instant Pot?"

To get tender, fall-apart pork chops, cook for about 30 minutes in the Instant Pot and allow to slow release for about 10 minutes. If you’re using a thicker cut of meat, bump the time up by five minutes. Thinner slices can be cooked for 25 minutes.
Make sure to sear your meat on all sides.
If you’re using frozen pork chops, just sear them as directed. However you may want to increase your cook time by just a couple of minutes.
