- 1 envelope (1 oz) dry ranch dressing mix
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup
Instructions:
To Cook Right Away:
- Load the Slow Cooker: Place the pork chops in your slow cooker. Sprinkle the dry ranch dressing mix evenly over the top, then pour in both cans of cream of chicken soup. No need to stir—it’ll blend as it cooks!
- Set and Forget: Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours, until the pork chops are fork-tender and the sauce is creamy and delicious.

To Freeze for Later:
- Prep the Bag: Add the pork chops, ranch dressing mix, and cream of chicken soup to a gallon-size zip-lock freezer bag. Seal it tight, label with the date and “Cook on LOW 4-6 hours,” and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Thaw When Ready: Defrost overnight in the fridge or under running water until thawed.
- Cook It: Dump everything into the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours. Dinner’s ready with zero fuss!
Recipe Tips:
- Thicker Sauce: Stir in a dollop of sour cream or a handful of shredded cheese after cooking for extra creaminess.
- Add Veggies: Toss in baby carrots or sliced mushrooms before cooking for a one-pot meal.
- Pork Swap: Bone-in chops work too—just adjust cooking time slightly if needed.
