Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops and Potatoes

Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops and Potatoes

 Ingredients:

• 4 boneless pork chops
• 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved (or russet potatoes cut into chunks)
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)
• ½ cup milk or heavy cream
• 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (optional)
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

 Instructions:

1. Prep the Crockpot:
   Lightly spray the inside of the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Layer Potatoes:
   Add the halved baby potatoes to the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Add Pork Chops:
   Season pork chops with a bit of salt and pepper on both sides. Place them on top of the potatoes.
4. Make the Sauce:
   In a small bowl, mix the ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup, and milk until smooth.
5. Pour Over:
   Pour the ranch mixture evenly over the pork chops and potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil or butter for extra richness (optional).
6. Cook:
   • Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours
   • Or on HIGH for 3–4 hours
     (Pork should be tender and potatoes soft.)
7. Serve:
   Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with a side of green beans or a simple salad.

 Tips:

• You can use bone-in pork chops, but adjust cooking time if they’re thicker.
• Add chopped carrots or green beans for a veggie twist.
• Swap cream of chicken with cream of mushroom for a deeper flavor.
