Let me tell you, it's one of those recipes that practically takes care of itself while you go about your day.

Last week, I was feeling exhausted after a long work week. I needed a hassle-free dinner option that wouldn't require me to slave away in the kitchen. Enter these slow cooker creamy pork chops. I quickly seasoned the pork chops, mixed up the creamy sauce using ranch dressing mix and cream of chicken soup, and dumped it all into my trusty slow cooker. Then, I simply set it and forget it. Hours later, as I walked through the door, the aroma of tender pork and creamy goodness enveloped me, instantly melting away my fatigue. It was like a warm, comforting hug from my slow cooker. I served the pork chops with a side of fluffy mashed potatoes, and let me tell you, it was a dinner that left me feeling satisfied and grateful for the magic of easy, delicious meals.

4 pork chops
1 pack ranch dressing mix
1 can (10.75 oz) cream of chicken soup (condensed version) or cream of mushroom soup

1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.

Optional step: Brown pork chops before putting into slow cooker for enhanced look and flavor.

2. In the slow cooker, combine the ranch dressing mix and the can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup. Stir well until the dressing mix is fully incorporated into the soup, creating a creamy mixture.

3. Place the seasoned pork chops into the slow cooker, ensuring they are coated with the creamy mixture.

4. Close the slow cooker with its lid and set it to the desired cooking temperature. For tender pork chops, cook on low heat for 6 hours or on high heat for 3 hours. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops and the specific slow cooker model.

5. Once the pork chops are fully cooked and tender, carefully remove them from the slow cooker and transfer them to a serving dish.

If desired, you can thicken the sauce remaining in the slow cooker to create a richer gravy-like consistency. To do this, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water until smooth. Then, add the cornstarch mixture to the slow cooker, stirring well. Cook on high for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

Serve the slow cooker creamy pork chops hot, spooning the thickened sauce over them. They pair well with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
