Creamy Ranch Mushroom Chops ****

Astrid

4 boneless pork chops (I started mine frozen)
1 packet ranch seasoning
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 soup can chicken broth
1 block cream cheese

Spray a crockpot with cooking spray, and put all ingredients but cream cheese in. Cover, and cook on low "all day" (I did 10 hours, but you could do less). Before serving, stir in cream cheese until melted. The sauce is also delicious with veggies!
* Amy's notes: I used 8 small boneless chops and doubled the sauce. I browned my frozen chops first and then cooked on high for about 3.5-4 hours. When ready to serve, I put 2 cups of juice and the cream cheese in a skillet and stirred until melted.
