- 1 1/2 lbs (680g) baby potatoes, halved
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream (or milk)

- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup (50g) shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray.
- Layer the Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle with half of the ranch seasoning mix.
- Add Pork Chops: Place the pork chops on top of the potatoes.
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and the remaining ranch seasoning.
- Pour Over the Pork Chops: Evenly spread the sauce over the pork chops and potatoes.
- Top with Butter: Dot the top with butter pieces.
- Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender.
- Add Cheese (Optional): If using cheddar cheese, sprinkle it on top during the last 15 minutes of cooking and cover until melted.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Thicker pork chops may need extra cooking time. If they are very thin, check for doneness around 5 hours on LOW.
For a lighter version, swap heavy cream for milk and use low-sodium broth.
Add carrots or green beans to make it a complete one-pot meal.
