Slow Cooker Bone-In Pork Chops with Ranch Gravy
If you think ranch seasoning tastes good on veggies, wait until you try it on crock pot pork chops! This easy ranch pork chop recipe is made with just a couple of ingredients, bone in pork chops, a Ranch seasoning packet, a bit of chicken broth and milk and some butter and flour. You'll get tender and juicy pork chops with a ranch flavored gravy all cooked together slowly in the crock pot.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (1-inch thick, bone-in chops)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1½ cups chicken broth
- ½ cup milk
- 1 packet ranch seasoning
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional)
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops. Add to the skillet and sear about 2 minute per side. Place pork chops in the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, add butter. Once melted, whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Warm milk and chicken broth in the microwave. Slowly add to flour mixture, whisking constantly until it has thickened. Whisk in Ranch seasoning.
- Pour the ranch mixture over the pork chops in the slow cooker and cook on low for 2-4 hours until a meat thermometer reads 145º. The time will vary depending on the thickness and number of pork chops in the slow cooker, so start checking the temperature at 1 ½ hours.
- Remove the pork chops and pour the gravy into a saucepan over medium heat. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and add to the sauce, whisking until slightly thickened, pour over pork chops.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- Don't overcook the pork chops, all slow cookers cook differently and the time will vary depending on the size and number of pork chops. Use a meat thermometer to test them starting at 1 ½ hours.
- Warming the milk and chicken broth will speed up the time it takes to make the soup mixture.
