Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 4–6 boneless or bone-in pork chops

• 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom, if preferred)

• ½ cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)

• ½ cup chicken broth

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra richness)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the creamy ranch mixture:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.

2. Add to slow cooker:
   Lightly grease your slow cooker. Place the pork chops inside, then pour the creamy ranch mixture over them. Add the butter on top.

3. Cook low and slow:

   • Low: 6–7 hours

   • High: 3–4 hours
     Cook until the pork chops are tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

4. Stir and serve:
   Once cooked, stir the sauce slightly to mix in the juices. The sauce should be thick and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk or broth.

5. Garnish:
   Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.
