These slow cooker pork chops are one of my favorite dump-and-go dinners for busy nights. The pork chops and potatoes cook together in a creamy ranch sauce, so the entire meal is ready when you are!
Why You’ll Love These Slow Cooker Pork Chops
- Only 4 Ingredients: You only need four simple ingredients, and you may already have everything on hand!
- Easy Dump-and-Go Dinner: Add everything to the slow cooker and come back to a complete meal with protein, potatoes, and plenty of flavor.
- Kid-Approved: My kids love this meal, and I get no complaints when I tell them it’s what we’re having for dinner!
Ingredient Tips and Substitutions
- Pork Chops: Use thick-cut pork chops. Thin chops cook faster and are more likely to dry out, so start checking them at four hours. Bone-in pork chops also work, but the cooking time may vary.
- Potatoes: Red, Yukon gold, or baby gold potatoes all work. Cut them into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
- Adjust the Sauce: Add a splash of milk if you prefer a thinner sauce.
- Add Vegetables:Â Toss in baby carrots, celery, or chopped onion to cook with the potatoes.
- Easy Swaps: Use homemade cream of chicken soup if you want to skip the canned version, or try cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor. You can also replace the ranch packet with my homemade ranch seasoning.

- Add Sauce and Cook:Â Pour the gravy mixture over the pork chops, then cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

More Delicious Slow Cooker Recipes
As much as I love my air fryer and Instant Pot, my slow cooker will forever hold my heart. These beef tips, Italian chicken and potatoes, or Mississippi pork roast are must-try recipes. Here are a few more of my favorites!
To freeze this meal before cooking, are the uncooked potatoes ok to freeze? I never have done that
It should be ok. If you feel more comfortable, you could par-boil them before freezing them.
What size can of soup?
Just a regular 10.5 ounce can of soup.
I’m curious if you have any suggestions on adapting this recipe to a Dutch oven? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Victoria, Here is what you can do;
1. Spray the dutch oven with cooking spray and Layer the potatoes (and baby carrots if used) on the bottom of the dutch oven. Lay pork chops on the top.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the soup and dry ranch packet (I would add 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth since it’s cooking quicker in the oven it will not be as juicy with this amount of liquid. BUT I haven’t made it this way so I can’t guarantee). Pour on the top of the pork chops.
3. Put the lid on the dutch oven and bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 1.5-2 hours until the potatoes are tender and the pork is cooked through.
Let me know how it turns out!
Do you add a can of water with the chicken soup?
Hi Rebekah, thanks for the question. No you do not need to add water with the chicken soup. Thanks! Let me know how it turns out!
