That sounds like a delicious and comforting meal! Here’s a breakdown of different aspects of your recipe:
Ingredients:
- 8-10 boneless pork chops
- Ranch seasoning (to taste)
- 2-3 cans of cream of mushroom soup
Construction:
- Season pork chops with ranch seasoning.
- Place them in the crockpot.
- Pour cream of mushroom soup over the top.
- Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
- Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.
Variations:
- Creamy & Cheesy: Add a block of cream cheese or a handful of shredded cheddar cheese toward the end of cooking.
- Savory & Herbaceous: Mix in onion soup mix or garlic powder for extra depth.
- Mushroom Boost: Add fresh mushrooms for more texture and flavor.
- Spicy Kick: Stir in a little cayenne or red pepper flakes.
- Alternate Protein: Try using chicken breasts or thighs instead of pork chops.
Tips:
- For extra tenderness, sear the pork chops in a pan before placing them in the crockpot.
- If you want a thicker gravy, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water) in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Use homemade cream of mushroom soup for a fresher, less processed flavor.
- Add veggies like peas, carrots, or green beans for a complete one-pot meal.
