Cooktop Cove: Wifey was in a rush last night and made this for dinner. It was so good, I had to share it

By Audrey Michels

When was the last time that you had dinner from a can? How about the last time you had a gourmet dinner… made with canned food? This dinner is here to change that.

It might be the least labor-intensive meal… ever? Hmmm... probably not, but it’s in the running. The fridge and the slow cooker do most of the work. After tasting this recipe, you'll want to save those packets of ranch dressing mix and brown gravy mix.

Slow cooker pork chops

5 minutes

6-8 hours

8 hours 5 minutes

1-lb bone-in pork chops

½ teaspoon pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

1 small onion, diced

1 10.5 ounce-can condensed cream of chicken soup

1½ cup beef broth

1 packet of ranch dressing mix

1 packet of brown gravy mix

2 tablespoons of cornstarch and water for slurry

Rub the pork chops with ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, and pepper. In 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the brown gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, beef broth, and onions.

Transfer the seasoned pork chops to the slow cooker, and submerge in the soup.

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, until very tender.

Take out the pork chops and plate.

For the gravy, mix the cornstarch and water slurry into the slow cooker mixture to thicken. Dress pork chops before serving.
