This recipe is so easy to make, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been doing it all along! Make sure to use a chicken and mushroom soup rather than water—you’ll get the best results with it. At home, we love easy dinners that can be made in the CrockPot! This is an amazing recipe that came from my great-grandparents, who passed it down to my mom, who passed it down to me. It makes an incredible gravy and the pork is perfectly fork-tender every time. 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. When he made it for her, he used two cans of cream of mushroom soup instead of one can of cream of chicken and one can of cream of mushroom. I like it with a can of cream of chicken because it adds a bit of a brighter dimension, but it is great either way! Make sure to use just the soup straight out of the can — no need to add water!

Pork Chops (boneless or bone-in)Ranch Seasoning Cream of Chicken SoupCream of Mushroom Soup
Substitutions and Additions
If you aren’t a fan of canned “cream of” soups, try our Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup Substitute. It has all the flavor of a canned soup without the preservatives. We usually 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 to adjust the cooking time. Same goes for frozen chops — either thaw them before you put them in, or adjust the cooking time. We have seen recipes much like this one that use chicken instead of pork, which would actually be a great substitution if you don’t like pork. You can shred the chicken before serving or just keep it whole.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.
The Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
This recipe makes a really tasty gravy that goes great with mashed potatoes. You literally don’t have to do anything. 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. We love serving the pork chops and gravy with mashed potatoes and a side of steamed vegetables. The pork gravy is also delicious over rice or egg noodles. To cut down on the salt content or to simply reduce the sodium in the gravy for this recipe, use low-sodium cream soups.
