You’ll need:

  • 2 tablespoons of Ranch seasoning, divided in half
  • 4 tablespoons of softened butter
  • 4 to 6 bone-in pork chops
  • 2 pounds of baby potatoes, quartered
  • ½ cup of chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, optional garnish

Substitutions And Additions

BONELESS PORK CHOPS: The instructions below are for bone-in pork chops, but this pork chop recipe can also be made with boneless pork chops.

Simply cut the potatoes in eighths so that they cook through, and lower the cooking time to four to six hours on low or two to three hours on high.

CANNED SOUP: Transform this into a creamy, comfort food dinner by adding some canned soup.

Cream of mushroom soup tastes best added on top of the pork chops before cooking. This will give the dish an extra creamy sauce.

CREAM CHEESE: You can also add a package of cream cheese for added creaminess.

If you love the milky flavors of Ranch dressing, this is a must-try. Here’s how: melt the butter and cream cheese in the microwave.

Then add it, along with all of the other ingredients, plus a can of cream of mushroom soup to your crockpot.

How To Make This Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops Recipe

Spread the seasoning on both sides and give the meat a quick sear in a frying pan to lock the juices in. Layer the chops on top of baby potatoes and set the crockpot to do its thing.

STEP ONE: In a small bowl, mix one tablespoon of ranch seasoning mix with the butter until well combined.

Rub the ranch mixture onto the pork chops until they are completely covered.

STEP TWO: In a hot skillet, sear the pork chops on either side for about 30 seconds.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

If you’re short on time, you can leave this step out. This step is just to give the pork chops a nice brown sear.

STEP THREE: Place the potatoes in the slow cooker, pour in the broth, and sprinkle the remaining one tablespoon of ranch seasoning.

Place pork chops on top of the potatoes.

PRO TIP:

If you use boneless pork chops or a thinner cut of pork, chop your potatoes into eighths to make sure they cook through evenly.

STEP FOUR: Cover and cook on low heat for six to eight hours or high for three to four hours.

The pork chops should be cooked through to a safe temperature (145°F) and the potatoes tender. Optionally, garnish with parsley before serving.

How To Serve

This delicious recipe is perfect with your favorite side dishes, such as green beans, a green salad, or a cucumber salad.

You could also serve these pork chops with an easy side like baked mac and cheese or a cold pasta salad such as our dill pickle pasta salad.

Slow cooker recipes are where it’s at when life is busy.

Our slow cooker Tuscan soup and slow cooker butter chicken are two more favorites.

Storage

Here’s a guide on how to store and reheat this comforting dish.

MAKE AHEAD: After cooking the pork chops, allow them to cool to room temperature.

Then, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply reheat them using your preferred method.

IN THE FRIDGE: Slow cooker ranch pork chops can be stored in an airtight container for three to five days.

IN THE FREEZER: You can also freeze leftover pork chops in an airtight container for two to three months.

Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating and serving with your favorite sides.

REHEATING: When it’s time to reheat, there are a few methods to choose from.

If reheating from the fridge, you can use the microwave for a quick warm-up, typically taking one to two minutes.

Alternatively, you can reheat them on the stovetop by placing the chops in a pan over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth, and covering until they are heated.

From the freezer, thaw the pork chops in the fridge overnight before reheating using the microwave or stovetop methods mentioned above.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I have to sear the pork chops first?

You don’t absolutely have to sear the pork chops if you are short on time. The benefit of searing the pork chops is that it gives them a nice brown color and a crispy texture on the outside and locks in the juices inside the meat. Since the pork chops are cooked completely in the slow cooker, this added texture is a tasty touch.

Can I freeze leftovers?

You can freeze leftovers in an airtight container for two to three months.

Can I use boneless pork chops instead?

To make this recipe with boneless pork chops, cut the potatoes in eighths (so that they cook through) and lower the cooking time to low for four to six hours or high for two to three hours.
