Ranch House Slow Cooker Pork Chops

Following the 2 week menu that I blogged about, Thursday's dinner was Ranch House Slow Cooker Pork Chops from this Pinterest link that I found.

The hubby is still working nights this week so dinner needed to be done by 3 pm and I wouldn't be home until after 3. What to do...hmm...ta da! The Slow cooker (Crock Pot but mine is a different brand so I'm not supposed to call it a crock pot since it isn't...)
List of ingredients:

I used 2 cans of Cream of Chicken Soup
1 Package of Ranch Dressing mix
6 Boneless Pork Chops
I didn't end up making this biscuit mix but will use it another time

 
At 4:30 in the morning I took my 6 boneless pork chops (still mostly frozen) and 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and mixed in one pack of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing dry packet. I put these 4 things into a slow cooker liner bag and then put that bag into a zipper bag. (I found out that the slow cooker liner bags do leak) 


Then I put that into to refrigerator and left a note for the hubby. After he got home from work he took the bag of ingredients out of the refrigerator and placed the slow cooker liner in the slow cooker and turned it on. He set it for 8 hours on low and went to bed. When he got up his dinner was ready! He fixed a cup of  Uncle Ben's instant brown rice to go with his pork chops. He said they were very good. When Jonathan and I got home the slow cooker had switched to"warm" and all I had to do was fix our sides. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling well so Jonathan fixed him some Raman noodles and finished off the pork chops. He also said they were very good. We have a rating system here for new recipes. Fix it again? or please don't ever fix that again! This was rated "Fix it again" yeah! Winner and how easy was that? Pork chops, cream of chicken soup and ranch mix? I do a similar recipe with chicken and I add bacon ..done...I like the easy recipes!!

One handy tip is this. When hubby took the liner out of the zip bag he saved it for me so that when I took the liner out with the leftover gravy in it, I put the liner back in the zip bag before throwing it in the trash so that soupy mess wasn't leaking out of the trash.

Thank you for checking out the blog!
