Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Pork Chops with Potatoes and Carrots

This is a super simple, super delicious recipe for creamy and luscious pork chops.  Add potatoes and carrots in the bottom of the crock pot and you have a quick and easy dinner perfect for hot summer days when you don't want to turn on the oven.  Also, you can assemble this the night before and cook the next day!  

Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Pork Chops with Potatoes and Carrots (adapted from sixsistersstuff.com)

6-8 medium yukon gold potatoes (about 1 pound)
1 (1 lb.) bag baby carrots
Salt and pepper
4 boneless, butterflied pork chops
1 can reduced fat cream of chicken soup OR make your own!  You can find the recipe here.
1 package dry ranch style seasoning OR make your own!  You can find the recipe here.
1/2 c. skim milk (if using canned soup, if using homemade you can skip the milk)

Place potatoes and carrots in the bottom of a slow cooker and season liberally with salt and pepper.  Place pork chops on top of vegetables and season with salt and pepper (if you are using packaged ranch and canned soup go easy on the salt.)  In a medium sized bowl whisk together the soup, ranch seasoning and milk (if using.)  Pour the mixture over the pork chops and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-4 hours.  

I highly, highly recommend making your own soup and ranch seasoning.  It is SO easy, much better for you and will make this dish taste divine!
