Ingredients (Serves 4)
4 pork chops
1 packet ranch dressing mix (use amount to taste)
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom as a substitute)
Instructions
Place the pork chops into the bottom of your slow cooker.
Pour the can of condensed soup over the pork. Then fill the same empty can with water and pour it in as well, creating a creamy cooking base.
Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix over the top. You can use the whole packet or just a portion depending on your taste preferences.
Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours, until the pork is tender and flavorful.
Carefully remove the pork chops with tongs or a spatula. Serve warm alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
Nutritional and Dietary Notes
This dish is rich in protein thanks to the pork, and the creamy base offers comforting texture and flavor. However, be mindful that condensed soups and seasoning packets can be high in sodium and additives. For a cleaner option, consider using a homemade ranch mix or a low-sodium soup alternative. This recipe is not suitable for dairy-free diets and may not align with low-fat meal plans unless modified.
