Just drop everything in your slow cooker and forget about it. Slow cooker pork chops will be a new family favorite!<\/p>\n<h2>Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops Without Canned Soup<\/h2>\n<p>These slow cooked pork chops are simple with just a few ingredients. We aren\u2019t using canned soup because, honestly, I don\u2019t use that as an ingredient a whole lot. But, if you are looking for the saucy canned soup type of pork chops (no judgement here) there are plenty of that style of recipe around the web.<\/p>\n<p>Nope. We\u2019re using pork chops, potatoes, olive oil, dry ranch mix, apple cider vinegar and butter. No special ingredients needed.<\/p>\n<h2>How Long Do Pork Chops Take To Cook In A Crockpot<\/h2>\n<p>Cooking on high heat you want to do approximately 3 hours. On low, 5-6 hours should do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Type Of Pork Chop Is Best For Slow Cooking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While this recipe can be made with bone-in or boneless pork chops, I\u2019m gonna be honest, boneless chops are not the best for slow cooking.<\/p>\n<p>The bone helps to keep the pork chops from drying out.<\/p>\n<h2>What Temp Should Pork Chops Be Cooked To<\/h2>\n<p>Check out this handy Pork Temperature Breakdown by Pork.org. Basically for pork chops you want the internal temp to reach 145\u00baF-160\u00baF. That is a wide range because it depends how you like your pork cooked, medium-rare to well.<\/p>\n<p>With that being said, these slow cooked pork chops will definitely be cooked through.<\/p>\n<p>In the above photo the pork chops have been seared to seal in the juices and make them look more appealing. Below is the \u2018dump everything in the slow cooker\u2019 method.<\/p>\n<p>Either way works. But as stated, the pre-seared chops look much better when serving and retain a bit more juice. You choose depending on preference and the amount of time you have to prep.<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\"><strong>Ingredients Needed For Crockpot Pork Chops<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>and Potatoes<\/strong>\u00a0<em>(screenshot for grocery list)<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"content_2_btf\" data-google-query-id=\"CO6KipzeoOMCFTcB-QAda60FIA\">Red Potatoes<\/li>\n<li data-google-query-id=\"CO6KipzeoOMCFTcB-QAda60FIA\">3\/4 inch Bone-In Pork Chops (boneless work too)<\/li>\n<li data-google-query-id=\"CO6KipzeoOMCFTcB-QAda60FIA\">Olive Oil<\/li>\n<li data-google-query-id=\"CO6KipzeoOMCFTcB-QAda60FIA\">Dry Ranch Seasoning<\/li>\n<li data-google-query-id=\"CO6KipzeoOMCFTcB-QAda60FIA\">Apple Cider Vinegar<\/li>\n<li data-google-query-id=\"CO6KipzeoOMCFTcB-QAda60FIA\">Butter<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div data-google-query-id=\"CO6KipzeoOMCFTcB-QAda60FIA\">\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\"><strong>How To Make Ranch Pork Chops In The Slow Cooker<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">Sear pork chops in skillet over medium\/high heat.
