Should I use bone-in or boneless pork chops for this recipe?

While both work, bone-in pork chops usually remain more succulent and flavorful during the long cooking process. If using boneless, ensure they are at least one inch thick to prevent them from drying out in the slow cooker.

Can I use a low-sodium ranch dressing mix?

Yes, you can absolutely use a low-sodium ranch packet or a homemade spice blend. Since the canned soups already contain significant salt, using a lower sodium seasoning can help balance the final flavor profile.

How do I prevent the gravy from being too thin?

If your sauce is too thin at the end of the cooking time, you can mix one tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water to create a slurry. Stir this into the slow cooker and cook on high for an additional 15 minutes until thickened.

Can I cook this on high instead of low?

You can cook Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops on high for 3-4 hours, but for the most tender, 'fall-off-the-bone' results, we highly recommend cooking them on low for 6-7 hours.
