I think in a general sense most dishes are worth the effort!

When I use that expression here, I mean that I feel that I can develop substantially better flavor using much simpler methods that take less time, less cleanup, less cooking, more agreeable/consistent texture, and so forth.

I was a little bit dubious of the hype I read surrounding this particular preparation, and I feel that in the end that skepticism was justified.

Maybe not the absolutely most, but in strict terms of "tastiness divided by work", I have made crock pot pork chops that have got to be in the top 5% for that ratio.

Basically get small boneless pork chops when they're on sale, and put however many you want (I usually do 4-6) in the crock pot with two cans of Cream of Chicken soup and a packet of dry ranch seasoning.

Stir that shit all together and turn it on low, then go to work.

When you get home enjoy your delicious, savory, juicy pork chops.

Really the only way you can get lower effort than that is something that's pre-made (like a boxed oven meal or something that is microwaved) or something that requires no prep at all, like just eating an apple or something.
