Perfect! Using a slow cooker makes Cream of Mushroom Pork Chops extra tender and hands-off. Here’s a step-by-step slow cooker version:
Slow Cooker Cream of Mushroom Pork Chops
Ingredients (2–4 servings):
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 small onion, chopped (optional)
- 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 295 g) cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk or cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme or a few sprigs fresh
- Optional: parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prep the pork chops:
- Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Optional: quickly sear in a hot skillet 2–3 minutes per side for extra flavor, but you can skip this for a true slow-cooker “set it and forget it” approach.
2. Layer in the slow cooker:
- Place onions (if using) and mushrooms at the bottom.
- Lay pork chops on top.
3. Make the sauce:
- In a bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic, and thyme.
- Pour over the pork chops.
4. Cook:
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until pork chops are tender and fully cooked (internal temp 145°F / 63°C).
5. Finish and serve:
- Spoon sauce over pork chops.
- Garnish with parsley.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
💡 Tip: For thicker gravy, remove the pork chops after cooking, stir the sauce, and cook uncovered on HIGH for 10–15 mins.
If you want, I can also give a cheesy, “ultimate comfort” version with extra cream and cheese for slow cooker pork chops—it’s indulgent but amazing.
Do you want me to do that?
