Bring raw boneless pork chops and shredded cheddar cheese together in a slow cooker. The flavors melt into something divine!

There's something magical about coming home to the comforting aroma of a meal that's been simmering away all day. This 6-ingredient cheesy ranch pork chops recipe is a lifesaver for those busy weekdays when you crave a hearty, homemade dinner but don't have the time to fuss over the stove. Inspired by my love for simple, yet flavorful dishes, this recipe combines the tangy zest of ranch seasoning with the creamy goodness of cheddar cheese. It's a dish that brings back memories of family dinners in the Midwest, where comfort food is a staple.

These cheesy ranch pork chops pair beautifully with a side of mashed potatoes or buttery corn on the cob. For a lighter option, consider serving them with a fresh green salad or steamed broccoli. The creamy sauce is perfect for drizzling over rice or pasta, making it a versatile dish that complements a variety of sides.

Servings: 4

4 boneless pork chops
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Place the seared pork chops in the slow cooker.

In a bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup, and milk until well combined.

Pour the mixture over the pork chops in the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender.

About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the pork chops. Cover and continue cooking until the cheese is melted.

For a bit of a kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the sauce mixture. If you prefer a different cheese, Monterey Jack or Colby cheese work well too. You can also add sliced mushrooms or onions to the slow cooker for extra flavor. For a lower-fat version, use reduced-fat cream of chicken soup and low-fat cheddar cheese.
