Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Seasonings
- 4 beef shoulder or blade chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Sauce and Aromatics
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 small onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Garnish
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Place the thinly sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker. This will infuse the beef with flavor as it cooks.
- Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, ranch seasoning mix, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and paprika until smooth and well combined.
- Layer the Beef: Arrange the beef chops evenly over the onion and garlic layer in the slow cooker.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared ranch mushroom gravy over the beef chops, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated with the sauce.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the beef on low heat for 7–8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, serve the beef chops warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Spoon extra sauce over the top and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a richer and creamier sauce, stir in a splash of heavy cream or sour cream just before serving.
- This recipe works wonderfully with pork chops as an alternative to beef.
- Ensure that the beef chops are about 1 inch thick for even cooking and tenderness.
- Leftover beef with sauce can be refrigerated and reheated gently for a delicious next-day meal.
