How to Make Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops with 3 Ingredients
A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.
STEP ONE: Place your pork chops in the crock pot and season them with salt and pepper.
STEP TWO: In a medium bowl, combine the soup, Hidden Valley ranch dressing, and water. Mix until well combined.
STEP THREE: Pour the soup mixture over the pork chops in the slow cooker and cover it with the crock pot’s lid.
STEP FOUR: Cooking time depends on the thickness of your pork chops. For thin pork chops around ½ inch thick, it’s best to cook on low for 3 hours.
Tip: Thicker chops (4-6 hours) should be cooked until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees for best results, using a meat thermometer.
Tips for Ranch Pork Chops in the Crock Pot
- Check the thickness before you get started: Make sure to measure the thickness of your crock pot pork chops before they’re baked to determine the appropriate cooking time. Thin (pork chops, that is) is always better if you want quick cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: Use a meat thermometer to confirm the slow cooker ranch pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
- Don’t peek: Avoid lifting the lid while cooking the crock pot pork chops until they’re close to being done to maintain a steady temperature. Be patient… it’s worth it!
- Season well: Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.

Variations to Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops
- Spice it up: Add a spoonful of Dijon mustard to give your crock pot ranch pork chops a tangy, slightly spicy kick.
- Add some veggies: Include a medley of vegetables like carrots, peas, or green beans for added texture and nutrients.
- Make your own homemade ranch blend: Create your own ranch seasoning blend using a mixture of salt, pepper, dried parsley, dill, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Switch up the season: Experiment with different seasoning options like paprika, thyme, or even a touch of cayenne pepper!
What Should I Do if the Sauce is Too Thick?
If you find that the sauce has thickened too much during cooking, you can easily adjust its consistency.
Simply add a little water or chicken broth to your ranch pork chops in the crock pot and stir until the desired thickness is achieved.
Can I Use Bone-in Pork Chops for this Recipe?
Yes, bone-in pork chops can be used as a substitute in this recipe!
That said, it’s important to note that the cooking time for bone-in pork chops in the crockpot is generally longer than that for boneless pork chops.
Bone-in chops can take about 30 minutes to an hour longer than boneless chops, depending on their thickness.
Start by adding 30 minutes to the cooking time based on the thickness of your pork chops.
Use a meat thermometer to make sure they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F before serving.
Can I Cook This Recipe on High Heat for a Shorter Time?
I highly recommend sticking with the low setting for the best results.
Cooking on low allows the crock pot ranch pork chops to slowly simmer in the flavorful sauce, which will result in tender, juicy meat that will fall apart when you eat it!
Using high heat for a shorter time might not achieve the same level of tenderness and flavor, so it’s best to be patient and let them cook on low.
What to Serve with Pork Chops in the Crock Pot
These crockpot ranch pork chops with 3 ingredients pair wonderfully with a variety of side dishes.
Serve them with creamy Stovetop Mac and Cheese for a comforting and indulgent meal. Add some freshness with Instant Pot Carrots or Cajun Corn on the Cob for a balanced flavor profile.
If you’re looking for classic sides, options like green bean casserole, baked potatoes, and garlic mashed potatoes are sure to please!
