Instructions

1. Season the pork chops:
   • Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Sear the pork chops (optional):
   • Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. This step adds flavor but can be skipped if short on time.
3. Prepare the crock pot:
   • In the slow cooker, mix the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and ranch seasoning. Stir well to combine.
4. Add the pork chops:
   • Place the pork chops in the crock pot, ensuring they’re fully submerged in the sauce. Sprinkle with paprika if using.
5. Cook:
   • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
6. Serve:
   • Serve the pork chops with the creamy sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
