Nope. We’re using pork chops, potatoes, olive oil, dry ranch mix, apple cider vinegar and butter. No special ingredients needed.

What Type Of Pork Chop Is Best For Slow Cooking
While this recipe can be made with bone-in or boneless pork chops, I’m gonna be honest, boneless chops are not the best for slow cooking.
The bone helps to keep the pork chops from drying out.

6 (3/4 inch) Boneless Pork Chops (or bone-in if available)
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
