Crock Pot Ranch Pork Chops Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Pork chops – I use boneless pork chops for this recipe, but bone-in would work just as well.
Just keep in mind that a hard bone can sometimes cause the meat to fall apart when serving. - Condensed cream of mushroom soup – Use your favorite brand or use homemade condensed chicken soup instead.
- White wine – Replaced with an equal amount of chicken broth if needed.
- Herbs – You can use a packet of dry ranch seasoning instead of the herbs listed. However, you may need to increase the amount of wine to get the right flavor.
Start with the amount listed and slowly add more as needed, up to 1 cup, until you get the right balance.
What to Serve with Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops
These fall apart slow cooker pork chops taste delicious with rice, pasta, or even mashed potatoes.
Add a side of roasted vegetables or a spinach salad to make it a complete meal.
Storage and Reheating
Transfer any leftover crockpot ranch pork chops to a sealed container along with the sauce. Keep in the refrigerator and use within 3 to 4 days.
For best results, reheat in the oven or simmer the pork chops in the sauce on the stove until warmed through.
Slow Cooker Pork Chops Recipe FAQ
Thick cut chops will hold up better, but you can use thinner cuts if that is what you have on hand.
I would recommend reducing the cooking time on the slow cooker ranch pork chops to about 3 hours on low so they don’t come out tough.
While it’s not a necessary step, it can definitely add some extra flavor and keep the meat tender and moist.
To do this, heat a pan on the stove with a little bit of oil. Add the pork chops to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, working in batches, so you don’t crowd the pan.
Then, place the ranch pork chops in the crock pot and continue with the recipe.
Yes, it’s fine to swap the pork chops for chicken. Just keep an eye on the internal temperature of the chicken, so it doesn’t overcook and become dry.
Enjoy!

You don't say how thick the boneless pork chops should be. Are you thinking the little thin ones or up to 1 inch? Back in the 50's I made this with the cream of mushroom soup on the stove top so this is something I'm going to make. I'm also going to add some fresh sliced mushrooms as I really like them.
It says thick cut pork chops hold up better but you can use the thin if you prefer, but if you use the thin to reduce cooking time to 3 hours
Can you use turkey tenderloins?
How would I taylor this recipe to an Instant Pot, please?
I have a cooker similar to the Instant Pot and love to brown meat in it before adding sauces. Then I use the slow cooker times the recipe suggests and dishes usually turn out just fine and I haven’t dirtied an extra pan to add the browning step.
Why do you pour the mushroom soup from one bowl to another? Why not right out of the can? Is it because you don't want to show a product name? You could take the label off for easier clean up. I love this recipe but I've always wondered why chefs put everything in separate bowls that all need to be washed.
Confusing information about cream cheese. Directions never tell you when to add it, just assume with soup and herbs since it talks about using hand mixer to make sure all but small lumps are out.
Crock pot pork recipes are such an easy way to have a nice hot meal when you get home from work (or school, college students) They’re so delicious and flavorful after being cooked in the crock pot
