Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops Without Canned Soup

These slow cooked pork chops are simple with just a few ingredients. We aren’t using canned soup because, honestly, I don’t use that as an ingredient a whole lot. But, if you are looking for the saucy canned soup type of pork chops (no judgement here) there are plenty of that style of recipe around the web.

Nope. We’re using pork chops, potatoes, olive oil, dry ranch mix, apple cider vinegar and butter. No special ingredients needed.

How Long Do Pork Chops Take To Cook In A Crockpot

Cooking on high heat you want to do approximately 3 hours. On low, 5-6 hours should do.

What Type Of Pork Chop Is Best For Slow Cooking

While this recipe can be made with bone-in or boneless pork chops, I’m gonna be honest, boneless chops are not the best for slow cooking.

The bone helps to keep the pork chops from drying out.

What Temp Should Pork Chops Be Cooked To

Check out this handy Pork Temperature Breakdown by Pork.org. Basically for pork chops you want the internal temp to reach 145ºF-160ºF. That is a wide range because it depends how you like your pork cooked, medium-rare to well.

With that being said, these slow cooked pork chops will definitely be cooked through.

In the above photo the pork chops have been seared to seal in the juices and make them look more appealing. Below is the ‘dump everything in the slow cooker’ method.

Either way works. But as stated, the pre-seared chops look much better when serving and retain a bit more juice. You choose depending on preference and the amount of time you have to prep.

    Maybe if the pork chops were browned a little before putting in the crockpot would help the look and possibly the taste.

    Forgot to get the crockpot out this morning and didn’t realize it until 4:30. 😬 Decided to give it a whirl in my instant pot. Only thing I changed, after reading some comments, was I used a whole pack of ranch mix. Pressure cooked for 18 minutes and it was tender, and juicy, and the potatoes were addicting! Loved this meal and it’s ease.

    I made this today, using some of the suggestions in the comments and really liked it. Definitely sear the meat and I used a whole packet of the ranch dressing mix. Also, I cut a whole medium sized onion into pieces and added quite a bit of garlic in with the potatoes. I’m thinking for a future meal, I would like sautĆ©ed mushrooms on the top at the end. I will make this again.

    A good hearty meal. Some modifications I did

    1. Add carrots, salt and pepper them and potatoes
    2. Salt and pepper on the chops, I did pan sear
    3. Add .5 cups of chicken broth
    4 added coastal blend season from the spice and tea exchange

    5 hours will do you well. Any longer the chops just fall apart

    I’ve learned to read the comments BEFORE trying a recipe! I seared the chops and otherwise followed the recipe. They were NOT a hit, very bland and the meat was dry despite sitting in the liquid for hours. A pork roast with pork gravy and mashed potatoes is so much better!

    This was delicious however I modified the recipe. 1/2 c. Of olive oil is way to much oil with the butter. I seasoned the pork chops and seared them, used 1/4 oil, 1/4 water doubled the vinegar. I also drained the excess oil after cooking p, added more ranch seasoning to the gravy. Threw the potatoes in a hot oven to brown. We loved it

    Marinate over night in Evan Williams Kentucky Cider. Smoke at 150 degrees with mesquite of pecan for 1 hour. Then followed recipe adding onious and couple sprigs of fresh rosemary. Coked for 5 hours on low and chops could be cut with a fork.

    As a person writing recipes for others to enjoy you should be aware of the basic cooking requirements of pork. You suggest it is possible to enjoy your pork “rare” which is not in accordance with safe cooking practices for pork. I suggest you must research and correct this error asap

      Hi Sandy. If you click through the link labeled ‘Pork Temperature Breakdown by Pork.org’ it breaks down in detail the safe cooking temps for pork from medium-rare to well. I personally always cook my pork well but to each his/her own, I suppose. Just say no to pork sashimi. Here is the direct link within the post for additional info: https://www.pork.org/cooking/pork-temperature/ Thanks!

    Making this recipe again for the second time. My family really enjoys this dish and I live with a picky 6yr little girl, a picky 19yr old daughter and a 57yr old very Italian man. Finding recipes that everyone can agree on can be tricky. However, I am making a couple simple adjustments, like adding a bit more of the ranch and a little less of the olive oil. But I would like to thank you for the great meal that’s easy enough to make on a Monday!

    “5. Cooking on high heat for approximately 3 hours. On low, 5-6 hours.”

    Wait, I’m confused. I assumed this step mean cook on high for 3 hours OR on low for 5-6 hours. That’s how most slow cooker recipes are formatted to be read as. But based on this comment and your reply, are we meant to cook it on high for 3 and then switch it to low for another 5-6 hours (8-9 total)? That’s fine and can be done but you might consider rewording step 5 to be less ambiguous to readers. This looks great and I want to give it a try but I know i absolutely would not have cooked it for the correct amount of time had i not seen this comment asking about two cooking levels. Thank you

    I use a half vinegar and half apple juice. This mixture works well for me

    Hello. I’ve cooked your recipe before and it was DELICOUS!!!!! But when I cooked I was making it for more people but this time I’m only making it for two so I was going to use only 4 pork chops and a 1.5 pound of fingerling potatoes (that’s what I have on hand and I have all the other ingredients and don’t really want to go to the grocery store for just the potatoes) and then maybe only cook it for 1 1/2-2 hours. Do you think that would be okay? I just don’t think I need to cook it for the full 3 hours because I don’t want the potatoes to burn and get too mushy and I don’t want the pork chops to become tough.

      Should be fine. Just check the chops to ensure they are cooked through šŸ™‚

    This used to be true, but a few years ago they changed the recommended guidelines for pork products. It is now acceptable to eat pork to differing degrees of done, the same way that you cook a steak.

    Hi, I followed the recipe exactly and the chops were great. I used and seared thick bone-in chops and slow cooked them for six hours.

    Thank you.

    Hey Nicole, when I mixed the oil and ranch seasoning it coagulated. Is that normal? Not sure what I did wrong?

      Some commenters have had that issue. It seems to happen if it gets mixed then sits for a few minutes. Works best if mixed immediately before adding.

    I just made this. It was good. But I agree with the comment to add a little more ranch seasoning and I bet it would be good with sweet onion and minced garlic.

    This was so good…thank you! I did use the whole packet of dry ranch seasoning and I added onions and garlic. I also roasted the potatoes in the oven after soft to get them crispy and turned the juices from the slow cooker into a gravy! Really good!

    Made this recipe while our daughter and family were visiting and all of us absolutely loved it for flavor and tenderness. Even the potatoes cooked well, which for me isn’t always the case. Definitely a keeper. Good job. Thanks

    I wish I could leave a picture ..this was a fabulous meal.Im 49 years old and have never cooked w/ranch. My husband and love a lot of flavor so before making I read your reviews.Instantly knew I needed to beef it up.Our twist was to put the red potatoes in w/chopped yellow onion.Then adobo seasoning , dried parsley ,smoked Paprika ,pepper ,minced garlic and then pour on the ranch sauce mix.Then because of the corona virus I could only find boneless center cut pork.I seasoned the chops w/adobo and pepper and seared in a pan and then layered on top of potatoes. Next I seasoned w/all the same ingredients that I put on potataoes.Then I sprinkled on ranch powder and then the ranch mix.4 1/2 hours on low and the last hour on high.Delish..thank you! Next I want to make ranch fried chickenšŸ¤—

    I’ve been cooking mine now for about 1 1/2 hours now. I’m using 8 bone-in center cut. I increased the ingredients a slight bit to accommodate. I still don’t think there is enough liquid. I really hope this turns out okay or it will be a total waste. Plus I’ll have a house full of hungry people. Any recommendations?

    A quick fix to this is add a couple tablespoons of water and mix. Then it will mix all together and won’t be coagulated.

    Made this dish last night, it is sooo good. I made 8 pork chops and quartered maybe 6-8 potatoes. Between me, my husband and my son there was absolutely none left once dinner was complete. I only had one but my husband and son ate everything else. It was so nice not having any leftovers.

    I’m usually not a huge fan of pork chops but this recipe really surprised me. Chops were flavorful, tender and not dry. Potatoes delicious with the sauce that formed in the crockpot. YUMM. I might just have to buy pork chops again!

    Made this tonight and the flavor was fantastic but between the olive oil and the butter it seemed really greasy. Do you think beef broth could be subbed for part or all of the olive oil? Thanks!

    I wondered about using the liquid for gravy, looks like a good amount of fat for making gravy! I’m gonna try the leftovers with gravy over rice.

    I decided to use yams this time. I used 4 pork chops and 2 pound of yams. I put the yams in a baggie with 1/4 cup of garlic oil and 1 tablespoon of Weber white wine marinade mix and shook until coated I cooked the chops in butter and garlic oil this time longer until they looked like the photo you posted. I then Mixed the remaining oil and marinade mix and Poured it over the top.

    We are senior citizens and don’t eat much. Two chops are plenty for us. Should I cut the rest of the ingredients in half. It sounds like a lot of oil for two chops. Of course I will use les potatoes.

    I added the whole ranch as well. I also seasoned with onion and garlic powder with garlic and herb seasoning. After pork chops were done I put in oven until they turned brown.

    This was a great recipe! I did use half the olive oil but doubled the dry ranch seasoning and apple cider vinegar. I added roasted garlic cloves and fresh parsley since I had them on hand. After the pork was ready, i drained the juices into a saucepan, added a little salt, additional ranch seasoning and cornstarch and made a gravy. Excellent! I think this would also work well with chicken breasts too.

    Thank you for recipe came out great!! I did sear them with plenty of salt and pepper. Added some broth , onion and garlic to crock pot cooked high for 3 hours super tender and juicy. Not much of a ranch flavor but that’s ok cause they tasted great . Especially loved the addition of apple cider vinegar. I did sautĆ© some onions and mushrooms to put on top after 😃

    As others, I did sear the pork chops but dusted with flour beforehand and seasoned with salt and pepper. I added chopped carrots as well as a chopped onion and roasted garlic. I have made it in the crockpot as well as the instant pot (high pressure for 20 min then natural release after another 15 min). I made a gravy with the juices by adding a bit of cornstarch as well as poultry gravy powder. This was very good!k
