1 10oz can cream of chicken soup
1 packet of ranch dressing dips mix
1 tablespoon of cajun seasoning
4 thick cut pork chops (or up to 6 thin cut)
This might be one of the easiest - and least expensive - recipes that I make. First, mix the cream of chicken soup, ranch mix and cajun seasoning together in one bowl.
The cream of chicken soup gives it a yellowish color that is darkened by the cajun seasoning. If you love extra spice, you can add a bit more of the seasoning, or if you prefer a little less heat, you can use a little less. This may affect the coloring of your marinade.
Then, put your pork chops into the crock pot, and cover with the bold ranch marinade.
Cook for 4 hours on high (or 6 hours on low), and serve over your favorite starch! When making something with a little bit of spice, I like to serve with mashed potatoes - but rice or a baked potato would go perfectly too!
Such an easy recipe with only 4 ingredients and very little prep work - less than 5 minutes! Hope you had a fantastic weekend & your week is off to a great start! I'll see you tomorrow for Wedding Wednesday!

Hi! It isn't overly salty, but if you're concerned about salt, you could look for a no or low sodium cream of chicken soup and/or using a salt-free cajun seasoning!

I made this recipe and it was amazing flavor, but after a few bites it was definitely to salty for me, and my husband agreed (Hes a salt lover). I am curious to find out if it just the adding of the Cajun seasoning, or the ranch. Any ideas how to town it down? it was a very good flavor other then the saltiness.

If you used no-salt cajun seasoning, then I would say that it was likely the ranch. You may be able to find no-salt ranch seasoning as well if you look for it!

I find this recipe to be to salty as is. It's a great and easy recipe however I think only using half of the ranch packet yields best results. That appears to be where all the salt is coming from

I wonder if this could be made with chicken? I love it with pork chops and have made it many times that way, but I have chicken I need to use tonight.

Instead of the crock-pot, could you cook on the stove or in the oven?
Sara LevineOctober 3, 2014 at 5:46 AM
I haven't tried it before, but I'm sure you could! I would marinate the pork chops in the mixture for at least a few hours before and then put in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes or cook on the stove over medium high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending upon the thickness of the pork chop.

Would it be ok if i cooked them in the SC for longer than 6 hours? I work and can't get home until 5 which would mean that it would for at least 9 hours...
Sara LevineOctober 14, 2014 at 9:43 PM
Yes, it should be okay for you to cook them in the crockpot for a little longer. You have a couple of options with this... 1. If your crockpot has a warming feature, cook the chops on low for 7 hours and allow it to warm for the remaining 2 hours until you get home or 2. Cook the porkchops on low for 9 hours, but add a 1/4 cup of chicken stock to make sure the porkchops do not dry out.

I had the same timing issue, but didn't realize it until halfway through the work day :/ Luckily, when i got home, the only thing that had happened was the pork chops fell off the bone, still moist and delicious though! Pair it with some potatoes, oh! Amazing!

I made this last night, and it was a HUGE hit with the whole family. I omitted the cajun sadly because i have two young kids, and i also didn't use the whole packet of ranch as some people had commented it was too salty. The easiest dinner i have made in a long time. i served over brown rice with steamed veggies on the side. will make again many times when in a crunch.
MichelleJanuary 12, 2015 at 3:04 PM
Could you tell me what size packet you used for the Ranch dressing ? I notice that there are a couple different packet sizes. thanks!

Would this work with different seasoning? Like Italian?
AnonymousOctober 9, 2015 at 2:15 PM
This was absolutely delicious! My husband loved it. I read the comments and was concerned about it being too salty. So I used the cream of chicken with herbs, 2 tablespoons of homemade ranch seasoning, and half a tablespoon of Mrs. Dash spicy seasoning. It was perfect! Will definitely make again...and again :-)

This recipe is is so simple and awesome. I replaced the cajun seasoning with Curry Powder and served over jasmine rice. My friends went crazy over it.
HollyAugust 29, 2017 at 6:58 PM
Does anyone know the time difference if the chops are frozen??
