Ingredients
  

  • 4 pork chops (about 1-inch thick; bone-in or boneless)
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix, or 3 tablespoons homemade ranch seasoning
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Season the pork chops: Pat the chops dry and sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika (if using).
  2. Optional quick sear: Heat a skillet over medium-high, add butter, and sear the chops 1–2 minutes per side until lightly browned. This boosts flavor but isn’t required.
  3. Whisk the base: In a bowl, whisk chicken broth with the ranch seasoning. This helps distribute the flavors evenly.
  4. Load the crockpot: Place pork chops in the slow cooker in a single layer if possible. Pour the ranch broth over the top. Dot the cream cheese cubes around and over the meat.
  5. Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on Low for 4–6 hours, or on High for 2.5–3.5 hours, until the pork is tender but not falling apart.
  6. Finish the sauce: Remove the chops to a plate and tent with foil. Stir the heavy cream into the crockpot. Whisk or use an immersion blender to smooth out the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  7. Thicken, if needed: If the sauce is thin, let it cook uncovered on High for 10–15 minutes to reduce, or whisk in a small knob of butter.
  8. Serve: Return the pork to the sauce or plate the chops and spoon the creamy ranch sauce over top. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives.
