2poundspork chopsbone-in or boneless, 3/4" - 1" thick, and well-marbled
10ouncesevaporated milk
1packetHidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix(dried seasoning), see notes for making your own)
2teaspoonsBetter than Bouillon chicken seasoningor 1 cube chicken bouillon
4ouncescream cheeseroom temperature
1tablespooncornstarch(optional)
Instructions
Add the pork chops to the slow cooker. In a medium bowl, mix together the evaporated milk, dry ranch seasoning, and bouillon.
Pour the evaporated milk mixture over the pork chops. Set Crockpot to low setting and cook for 3-5 hours. The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145º. In my slow cooker this only takes 3 1/2 hours for 1" pork chops. For the most tender and juicy pork, do not let them overcook.
Remove the pork chops to a plate. Add the cream cheese to the Crock pot, and stir until mixture is smooth and creamy. To thicken the cream sauce (if needed), mix 2 Tablespoons of cold water with 2 Tablespoons of corn starch. Add to cream sauce and cook until thickened. If not serving immediately, return the chops to the slow cooker and keep on warm until serving.
Notes
Well marbled bone-in or boneless pork chops will yield the best results. I prefer 1" center cut, but sirloin chops, blade steaks, or loin chops will also work well.Can I make this without dry ranch dressing mix?Here's how you can make your own homemade ranch dressing mix: 2 Tablespoons buttermilk powder (optional), 1 Tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 1 teaspoon dried chives, 2 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried dill.
