I found a recipe through pinterest that was super, duper easy. Pork chops, Ranch Dressing mix, and Cream of Mushroom Soup. Crock pot on low for 8 hours. Simple, simple, simple.
But a bit bland for my taste.
So, I spiced things up a tad and added a few other quick ingredients. I have found that the combination of ingredients works well with a pot roast, country style ribs, or chicken (though I tend to not add veggies to my crock-pot when cooking the chicken).
What you need:
Country Style Ribs (3 +/- pounds)
Potatoes
Carrots
1 pkg SPICY Ranch Dressing Mix
1 pkg Onion Soup Mix
1-2 cans Cr of Mushroom Soup
Cavendar's Seasoning
salt
pepper
Garlic salt
Crock Pot
You can probably see that I already started filling the crock-pot before I decided to take photos. I took the lazy gal's way of doing this and decided not to peal the red potatoes. Or use carrots I needed to peal. I like when all I have to do is wash and scatter the ingredients....especially if I am in a hurry to get it done.
Place some potatoes and carrots in the bottom of the crock-pot Sprinkle with a little bit of the Spicy Ranch and Onion Soup Mixes, and the other seasonings. Spread some of the Cr. of Mushroom Soup over top.

Now, place the meat in the crock pot, sprinkling a little bit of the seasonings on top of this:

Next, place a few more carrots and potatoes on top of the meat (I did cut some of these potatoes in half so the lid would fit on well). Sprinkle the rest of the Spicy Ranch and Onion Soup mixes over the top, adding other seasonings you may desire, and then spread the rest of the Cream of Mushroom soup (I did use 2 cans for this dinner). Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours:
I wish I had photos of the finished meal, but I forgot to get the camera and the food is now all gone!
**For our family, the Spicy Ranch dressing is not hot spicy, just flavorful spicy.
