Instructions
Preparation Steps
Season pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the seasoned pork chops in a single layer in the bottom of the crock-pot. Scatter sliced onion over and between the chops.
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, dry ranch dressing mix and milk until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the pork chops.
Dot the top with butter if using, cover the crock-pot and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours, until pork is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove 1 tablespoon of the cooking liquid and whisk with 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth, then stir back into the crock-pot and cook on high for 10–15 minutes until thickened.
Serve pork chops topped with the creamy ranch mushroom sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying the pork; add a splash of water or broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
