1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Begin by greasing the interior of your trusty crockpot or slow cooker. This simple step ensures that nothing sticks and makes cleanup a breeze.
2. Layer Potatoes: The foundation of this dish starts with the sliced potatoes. Place them meticulously in the bottom of your slow cooker and season them with a gentle sprinkle of salt and pepper.
3. Add Pork Chops: Now, it’s time to introduce the star of the show – those succulent bone-in pork chops. Lay them gracefully on top of the potato bed, and don’t forget to season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Make the Ranch Sauce: In a mixing bowl, embark on the creation of the ranch sauce. Combine the ranch dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and sour cream. Stir diligently until the mixture achieves a velvety-smooth consistency, ensuring that all the flavors harmonize beautifully.
5. Pour the Sauce: With your ranch sauce now perfected, pour it generously over the pork chops and potatoes in the slow cooker. This step is crucial for evenly distributing the delightful blend of flavors.
6. Cook on Low: Cover your slow cooker with the lid and set it to the low heat setting. Allow this culinary symphony to unfold over the next 6-8 hours. Keep in mind that exact cooking times can vary, so periodically check for doneness starting around the 6-hour mark.
7. Optional: Add Cheese: About 30 minutes before serving, consider elevating your dish with a layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Simply sprinkle it atop the pork chops and potatoes, cover the slow cooker, and watch as the cheese transforms into a gooey, irresistible delight.
