Ingredients You’ll Need

(6-quart slow cooker)
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick, ~2 lbs total)
  • 1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning mix (like Hidden Valley)
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tsp garlic powder, chopped fresh chives for garnish
💡 Pro Tips:
  • Use bone-in chops—they stay juicier during long cooking.
  • Pat chops dry before seasoning for better flavor absorption.
  • Add sour cream LAST—stirring it in at the end prevents curdling.

Step-by-Step Instructions (Creamy, Savory, Foolproof)

1. Season the Pork

  • Pat pork chops dry; season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Place in the bottom of the slow cooker.

2. Make the Sauce Base

  • In a bowl, whisk ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until smooth.
  • Pour evenly over pork chops.

3. Cook Low & Slow

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours (do not exceed 5 hours—pork chops can dry out).
  • Pork is done when internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

4. Finish with Creaminess

  • Carefully remove pork chops and keep warm.
  • Stir sour cream into the hot sauce until smooth and creamy.
  • Return pork chops to the slow cooker; spoon sauce over top.
