The first time I made Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops, I was mostly trying to use up the chicken broth sitting in my fridge. It turned into a dish my kids now request by name, with the packet ranch dressing mix making it feel like a proper sit-down dinner. Now I keep the ingredients on hand most weeks.
Perfect for busy weeknights, this recipe requires just a few ingredients and is ideal for serving with sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
