Ingredients
  

bone-in pork chops
  • 6 bone-in pork chops
seasoning
  • 1 Salt and pepper to taste Use to season pork chops.
ranch base
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed Cubed so it melts smoothly into the sauce.

serving
  • 1 Mashed potatoes and fresh chives for serving Serve with sauce spooned over and chives on top.

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch oven

Method
 

Season and layer in the slow cooker
  1. Season the bone-in pork chops with salt and pepper, then place them in the slow cooker as a single layer.
  2. Whisk the ranch seasoning mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth together until smooth, then pour it over the pork chops.
  3. Place the cream cheese cubes and butter on top of the pork chops so they sit over the sauce.
Slow cook until tender
  1. Cook on Low for 6–7 hours or on High for 3–4 hours, until the pork is tender and the sauce looks creamy around the edges.
Finish the sauce and serve
  1. Stir the sauce well to combine the melted cream cheese, keeping everything glossy and evenly thickened.
  2. Serve the creamy ranch pork chops over mashed potatoes, spooning the ranch sauce generously over the top and garnishing with fresh chives.

Notes

Pro tip: Use bone-in chops for the deepest flavor and easiest “slide-off-the-bone” texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if the sauce thickens. Freezing is not recommended because cream cheese-based sauces can change texture after thawing. For a lighter option, swap in low-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat cream of chicken soup (texture may be slightly less rich).
