Our Slow Cooker Pork Chops recipe is the ultimate hands-off dinner—set it and forget it!

Slow Cooker Pork Chops are my son's favorite meal.
I love how incredibly easy this slow cooker pork chops and gravy recipe is—just to a slow cooker and let it do the work! What really sets it apart is that it skips the ranch packet seasonings and uses pantry spices for a rich, homemade ranch flavor. And PLEASE make my homemade cream of soup substitute to make it even better!

Where is the ranch in the ranch pork chops?
Hi Tara, It’s homemade ranch seasoning–that’s what all the seasonings are for. I don’t use bottled or packet ranch mixes–I make it from scratch.
Second time making this. Still delicious. I use the homemade Cream of Anything that Lauren links to. It’s totally easy – take this from a lazy person..
Of the billion of recipe blogs, including Yummily, I continue coming back to the same two- Lauren and Hilah (from Hilahcooking). Between those two, I have all the perfect recipes I need
I made this today. It was good. I found it to be a bit salty but next time I will use low sodium cream of chicken/cream of mushroom. My crockpot cooks hot so I cooked it on low for 4 hours. Pork chops 1″ thick were very tender. Next time I will sear the chops, per my husbands request. Very good recipe. I will make this again. Thanks for sharing!
Tell me about the pork chops…bone in or boneless? How thick?
Hi Sandra, you can use either bone-in or boneless. I like to use the ones that are about 1” thick. If you use the thin sliced ones you would just cook them for a little bit less time.
Do you have to use pork chops could I use a tenderloin?
Hi Billie, I haven’t used a tenderloin but I think it would work great. Cook on low for 2-3 hours.
This is in my crockpot now! I didn’t have dill or chicken bouillon cubes but I did have some tomato ones with chicken flavor that I used. It smells good and can’t wait to try it. I was confused by the name because I just pinned it and made sure I had ranch packets and then reading over it I was like – ohh I don’t need these! 🙂 Thanks!!!
I’m new to the cooking scene. What would be a substitute for the bouillon? I have unsalted chicken stock and also broth. would either of those work? What would be the right measurement?
Hi Leanne, normally you can substitute chicken broth but with this recipe it wouldn’t work very well. The chicken bullion cubes are purely added for flavor and if you added chicken broth instead it would make the gravy really runny. That’s why I suggest only the cubes or a chicken bullion paste.
If you must use chicken broth then you’ll want to thicken the gravy at the end by pouring it into a small saucepan and whisking in some flour or cornstarch. Hope that helps 🙂
Thanks for this, it was helpful. I recently started to shy away from using bullion cubes/paste because I have yet to find them without MSG. Do you have any recommendations for a substitute? Not being able to use them really seems to limit the recipes I can try. And making my own stock has been a repeated trial and error ?
Hi Gina, Other than adding a great homemade stock recipe, I couldn’t say. If your stick seems to lack flavor you could try using less water. Here’s my stock recipe. Hope that helps! https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/homemade-chicken-broth-how-to-get-the-most-from-your-rotisserie-chicken/
I just made this for a recipe. Awesome. I shy away from recipes that call for whatever canned Cream of because there’s some weird after taste that doesn’t suit me. This is not difficult to make and makes a delicious difference. Thanks so much.
I pulled pork chops after I saw this recipe and now they’re on the crock pot and I realized you don’t have what size cream of mushroom or chicken. ? darn. From the picture it looks like the big cans but I don’t want to chance it. Can you update when you have a chance so I can try this, sounds amazing!
Hi Sarah, use the smaller 10.5 oz cans 🙂 Hope you love it!
Thank you so much! You got back to me in time to still make it!! 🙂 I’m so excited! I’ll let you know how it comes out! Thanks again!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’ll definitely be trying it out.
