Day 9 of Eating at Home- Crock Pot Ranch Pork Chops

This dinner is really easy and only has a few ingredients so it is definitely budget friendly. I wish I would have had more time to enjoy it because it was pretty good. But we only had 30 min to eat AND get to the baseball field for my son’s game. Also, because we were so rushed I completely forgot to take pics of it completed but I do have pics of the prep. I hope you don’t mind. If you have been reading my blog you know I have to double just about everything to feed my growing boys. (we are in big trouble when they are teenagers!) So as usual for a smaller or less hungry group of people you can cut this in half. I am glad we had the extra because both big boys had an extra pork chop when we got home from the game. 🙂

Here is what you need.

  • 4-6 pork chops
  • 2 cans cream of chicken
  • 2 packets of Ranch dressing mix
  • a little bit of garlic powder…. maybe a teaspoon?? I don’t really know
  • 1-1 1/2 cups of water.

 

In a bowl mix your cream of chicken, ranch mix, and water. Add some garlic powder on top if you want. I added about 1 1/2 cups of water. You can do more or less depending on how long you are cooking it. This recipe calls for about 4-6 hours on LOW. If you go with 4 you could even omit the water all together. That’s all up to you.

Now pour about 1/4 of the mixture in the crock pot or just enough to coat the bottom.

I used 6 pork cops so I did it in layers. I added 4 chops.

Coated with some of the mixture.

Then added the other 2 chops and poured the rest of the mixture on top.

Now just cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours. About 30 min before it’s ready make some rice or whatever your family prefers and then serve over rice. The chops come out super tender and you can cut them with a fork. Everyone in my family is different. Some like to eat the chop separate with sauce on the rice and some like the chop and sauce right on top. Personally I like to shred my pork chop and mix it with the rice and sauce. Oh and don’t forget the sprinkle of pepper on top!!

Thanks for reading!
