- pork chops - in the recipe I use bone-in pork chops, but boneless pork chops or pork loin chops are great as well.

- canned mushrooms - something about mushrooms, I can never get enough!

FAQ's
Pork chops are famous for getting dry. That's not we're looking for! Moist and tender using the slow cooker helps eliminate drying them out. Bone-in pork chops will have more flavor and be juicier. Don't forget to let the meat rest.
Thick-cut pork chops are best for this recipe.
That's up to you. Thickening is of course optional, but all that lovely gravy shouldn't go to waste (but to waist, right?!!! 😋)! It only takes a few minutes to make with so little effort. Plus it's delicious!
Add one tablespoon of corn starch to one tablespoon cold water. Whisk until smooth. Pour into the crockpot and stir to combine. Cook for 10 additional minutes to thicken.
Tips
There are several different cuts that will work with this recipe. I used bone-in, but use your favorite or use what you have on hand!
- shoulder or blade chop - Sometimes called a blade steak, it has great flavor, but it is tough. Slow cooked or braised is the best method of cooking.
- rib or center-cut chop - super lean and great for slow cooking.
- center cut - more expensive, but super tender and very lean.
- boneless chop - super tasty and very lean.
- sirloin chop - a tougher cut of meat great for braising or the slow cooker.
Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow them to come to room temperature. They will be less likely to get dry.
For best results allow the chops to rest for 10-15 minutes. Remove the meat from the slow cooker, cover loosely with foil and allow to rest.

Variations
If you want a complete meal, add baby potatoes and peeled carrots to the slow cooker. Layer the pork chops on next and top with the sauce. Cook as directed.
- No mushrooms soup? No problem, you can also use cream of chicken soup.
- If you'd prefer substitute dry onion soup mix for the ranch mix.
- Adding 3 ounces of cream cheese to the mixture as it cooks adds a wonderful tangy flavor to the gravy.
- To add even more flavor brown pork chops before adding to the slow cooker.
Storage
Refrigerate - Allow leftovers to cool completely. Store in an airtight container 3-4 days.
Freezer - This easy crock pot pork chops recipe is one of my favorite freezer meals! Freeze - in an airtight container, covered with gravy up to three months.
Reheat - thaw overnight in the refrigerator. It's easily reheated in the microwave, oven or on the stovetop, enjoy!

The recipe says to set to Low, then cook on High for 7-8 hours? I'm confused... which setting do I use?

Deb,
Great looking meal. What brand of crock pot do you recommend? Is there any difference among brands? My old one just died.
Thanks,
Don

Thanks Don! Regarding the crock pot....because I'm new to the "crock-pot" world, I can't say I'm an expert, but here's what I did. The brand is Crock-Pot & I purchased mine from Target - it was about $25 bucks - wasn't the cheapest ($19) and they sure had some that were lots more expensive. The expensive brands had some bells and whistles on it - I'm not interested in that. I've used it several times now and believe it's $'s well spent. Hope that helps!
