Equipment

Method
 

Load the slow cooker
  1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then place them in the slow cooker.
  2. Whisk the ranch seasoning mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth together, then pour the mixture over the pork chops.
  3. Add the cream cheese cubes and butter on top of the pork chops.
Slow-cook until tender
  1. Cook on Low for 6–7 hours, or on High for 3–4 hours, until the pork is tender and the sauce looks creamy.
Finish and serve
  1. Stir the sauce well to combine the melted cream cheese into a smooth, velvety ranch gravy.
  2. Serve the pork chops over mashed potatoes, spooning the creamy ranch sauce generously over the top and garnishing with chives.

Notes

Pro tip: For extra thick gravy, let the sauce rest in the turned-off slow cooker for 10 minutes before serving so it tightens slightly. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to 3–4 days; reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of broth if needed. Freezing is not recommended because cream cheese can change texture when thawed. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and low-sodium cream of chicken soup.
