Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops
Description
This recipe starts by dredging pork chops in a mixture of flour and ranch seasoning, which flavors the meat and helps develop a sauce later. Thinly sliced apples and onions layer the slow cooker base, infusing the pork throughout cooking with subtle sweetness and aromatics.
Cooking on low heat for about four hours results in tender pork chops that absorb the flavor of the apples and onions. After removing the meat, the remaining juices are combined with butter and the reserved flour mixture to thicken into a savory sauce. This sauce is poured over the pork before serving, enhancing moisture and taste.
Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops make an easy, hands-off meal suitable for busy days. Serving with the apples and onions from the crockpot adds complementary textures and flavors. The dish pairs well with simple sides like rice or mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops approximately 1" thick, bone-in
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp ranch seasoning or salad dressing dry mix
- 1 onion sliced thin
- 1 apple peeled, cored and sliced thin
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp butter salted or unsalted
Instructions
- Prepare slow cooker by wiping with a light coating of oil or spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine flour with ranch seasoning mix and set aside 2 tbsp of the mixture. Spread remaining onto a shallow plate. Dredge pork chops in flour and ranch mixture, on both sides. Shake off any excess.
- Spread apples and onions over the bottom of the slow cooker. Place pork chops on top of apple and onions, then pour broth into the bottom of the pot. Cover and cook on low for four hours, or until tender throughout.
- Remove pork chops, cover with foil to maintain heat, and set aside. Stir in remaining flour mixture, and butter, and mix well to combine. Simmer in slow cooker for an additional 10-15 minutes. Pour mixture over the pork chops and serve immediately.
