What You Need

How to Make It
Step 1: Cook Bacon and Sear Pork
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it’s crisp. Remove the bacon and set it aside, keeping about a tablespoon of drippings in the pan. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then sear them in the same pan for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.
Step 2: Create the Creamy Sauce
Add butter to the skillet. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, then the heavy cream, stirring until the sauce thickens. Return the pork chops to the skillet, letting them simmer in the sauce for a few minutes to heat through. Crumble the cooked bacon over the top, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Creamy Ranch Pork Chops Slow Cooker Recipe
These pork chops cook slowly to become incredibly tender and juicy. The ranch seasoning creates a wonderfully creamy and comforting sauce with minimal effort.
Key Ingredients & Tips
- Slow Cooking: The slow cooker does all the hard work, resulting in pork chops that are super tender and moist. No need to sear them first.
- Cream Cheese: Adding a block of cream cheese helps to make the sauce extra rich, velvety, and incredibly smooth.
What You Need
- 6 boneless pork chops
- 1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Mashed potatoes, for serving
⏱️ Time: 4-6 hours (slow cooker)🍽️ Yields: 6 servings
How to Make It
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
Place the sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of your slow cooker. Arrange the pork chops on top of the onions. Season the pork chops lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Add Sauce and Cook
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, dry ranch seasoning, and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the pork chops. Distribute the cubes of softened cream cheese over the top of the sauce. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the pork chops are very tender and easily shred apart. Serve with mashed potatoes.
📝 Final Note
For a different serving idea, shred the tender pork chops directly in the sauce with two forks and use them for pulled pork sandwiches or over egg noodles.

Step 2: Finish the Creamy Sauce
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken.
