Slow Cooker Smothered Pork Chops

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Brown pork chops well on both sides. Place in a 5-7 quart slow cooker (I used my casserole crock)

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soup, gravy mix and the ranch seasoning mix. Spread on top of the pork chops.

Step 3

In the same skillet, brown mushrooms, if using.

Step 4

Deglaze pan with the 1/4 cup water. Add the mushrooms and liquid to the slow cooker. Even if you don’t use the mushrooms, deglaze the pan and add the liquid to the slow cooker.

Step 5

Cook on low 6-8 hours (mine was done in 6), high 3-5 hours.

Step 6

Always check for doneness at the MINIMUM time. All crock pots cook differently and my results could be different from yours.
