🛒 Ingredients
Pork chops- You will need thick cut boneless pork chops for this recipe. Thin cut pork chops will cook too quickly and become dry and bone-in chops can become messy when serving, if they fall apart.
Condensed soup- Use cans of condensed cream of mushroom soup (any brand). Alternatively, you can use canned golden mushroom soup for a dairy free alternative.
Ranch seasoning- Use a ranch seasoning packet, keep in mind that some brands contain dairy and others do not. This seasoning mix adds a lot of flavor to the dish.
See the recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.
🔀 Substitutions & Variations
Pork Chops. If thick-cut chops are not in the budget, use regular or center-cut pork chops and check for doneness sooner to prevent drying out.
Soup Options. Swap cream of mushroom for cream of chicken, cream of celery, or golden mushroom if you need a dairy-free option. The consistency stays the same.
Add-Ins for More Flavor. Stir in sliced mushrooms or a handful of frozen onions before cooking. They stretch the dish without raising the cost.
💰 Budget-Friendly Tips
Use Cheaper Cuts. Bone-in pork chops are often cheaper and work fine. Just handle gently when serving since they may fall apart when tender.
Stretch the Meal. Serve chops over rice, mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or stuffing so the slow cooker gravy can stretch further and feed more people.
Turn It Into a Freezer Meal. Combine everything in a gallon freezer bag, freeze for up to 3 months, and thaw overnight before cooking for a future no-prep dinner.
🥄 Instructions for 3 Ingredient Crock Pot Pork Chops
Step 1: First, spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. For even more convenience, you can use the crockpot liners for a no-hassle clean-up later.
Step 2: Lay your pork chops in an even layer inside of the crockpot. (Image 1)
Step 3: Spread your cans of cream of mushroom soup over the top of the pork. (Image 2)
Step 4: Now sprinkle your dry ranch packet over the top. (Image 3)
Step 5: Close the lid and set your slow cooker to LOW for 4-5 hours. (Image 4) Note that I do NOT recommend cooking these on high or else the pork chops will be dry.
Step 6: Serve up your pork chops with some of the gravy in the pot and enjoy!
👩🏻🍳 Expert Tips
- Choose Thick-Cut Pork Chops. Thicker chops stay moist and tender. Thin cuts cook too fast and dry out, even on low.
- Do Not Cook on High. High heat makes the meat tough. Low and slow gives you tender pork and a creamy gravy.
- Place Chops in a Single Layer. Touching the soup mixture helps them cook evenly and keeps moisture in each piece.
❄️ Storage, Reheating & Make Ahead
Storage. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
Reheating. Reheat in the microwave in 30-second increments or warm in a covered skillet over low heat with a splash of broth or water to loosen the sauce.
Make Ahead. Assemble everything in a freezer bag and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and cook on low as directed.
🥗 Side Dishes or Pairing Ideas
Serve with mashed potatoes, white rice, buttered egg noodles, cornbread, or stuffing to soak up the gravy. Add a vegetable like steamed broccoli, green beans, or a simple salad for balance.
