Featured with this recipe
Pork Chops and Gravy are a comfort food classic around my house. The warm, enticing smell always whets our appetites and we look forward to gathering around the table, dishing up good food and (usually) delightful conversation. I love to make our easy Crock Pot Pork Chops but on extremely hectic days, it’s so nice to just throw ingredients into the Instant Pot and have a beautiful supper ready in a fraction of the time.
Ingredients in Instant Pot Pork Chops
This recipe is a favorite because it uses simple, easy-to-find ingredients! Serve it over mashed potatoes or rice with a simple vegetable side dish and you have a delicious, healthy dinner everyone will love. Here’s all you need:
- Boneless Pork Chops – about two pounds, or four pork chops for this recipe. You can use thin-cut chops or thicker pork chops.
- Kosher salt – to taste
- Cooking oil – I like to use vegetable oil, but you can substitute olive oil or canola oil.
- Onion soup mix – you can find these packets in the soup aisle at most grocery stores.
- Cream of mushroom soup – use two cans for this recipe or make your own homemade cream of mushroom soup. It’s so easy and delicious!
- Hidden Valley Ranch Mix – use one packet of dry dressing mix, not the bottled stuff! You can find the packets next to the salad dressings.
- Water – about a cup
- Salt and black pepper – to taste
- You can also add a teaspoon of garlic powder for more flavor.
Recipe Tips
- To get tender, fall-apart pork chops, cook for about 30 minutes in the Instant Pot and allow to slow release for about 10 minutes. If you’re using a thicker cut of meat, bump the time up by five minutes. Thinner slices can be cooked for 25 minutes.
- Following the directions in the recipe card below, make sure to sear your meat on all sides. This can be done easily in the Instant Pot on sauté mode. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot for extra flavor.
- If you’re using frozen pork chops, just sear them as directed below. However, you may want to increase your cook time by just a couple of minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Instant Pot Pork Chops
The larger flakes of kosher salt keeps pork chops tender and juicy because it holds moisture inside of the meat. Works great on steaks, pork chops and chicken.
If you use thin chops, they run a greater risk of getting out tough when they pressure cook. For more tender meat, try using chops that are an inch to an inch and a half thick.
Store leftovers tightly covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.

Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops (about 2 pounds)

Instructions
- Pat pork chops dry and lightly season with salt, to taste. Set aside.

- Place all the seared pork chops back in the Instant Pot. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the pork chops.
- Add cream of mushroom soup over the top of the pork chops and then the ranch mix over top of the soup (no need to stir in– you can stir it in after they are done cooking).
- Pour 1 cup water around the sides (this will make it easier for the IP to steam up and seal), place the lid on the Instant Pot and set tab to “sealing”.
- Press “manual” and set for high pressure for 30 minutes then allow to slow release for 10 minutes.
- Do a quick release and remove lid. Remove pork chops from Instant Pot and set aside.

What thickness of pork chops did you use?
We used thin-cut pork chops, so about 1/2 inch.
My family LOVED this dinner! I wasn’t sure about how the ingredients would taste all together but it was delicious! The best part is that my kids loved it and want it again. It was quick and easy to make.
Hi Callie- So glad you liked these pork chops! It’s always a win if the kids are asking for more lol! Thanks for the 5-stars!
Can i make this with bone in pork chops?
Absolutely! Depending on how thick they are, you may just want to adjust the time.
This looks really delicious. Can this recipe be doubled and if so, would you double the same amount of water also? Thank you for your suggestions.
Yes, absolutely. If it were me, I actually wouldn’t double the water. If it needs to be thinned out at the end you can add some milk at the end. It is easier to thin out than to thicken. Hope this helps!
You mean you dont have to thaw the pork chops before searing?
Nope!
