Here’s a simple and tasty way to make pork chops in a slow cooker. This method keeps them tender and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 4-6 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
- 1 packet onion soup mix (or 1/2 cup finely chopped onions)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp dried thyme, or a splash of Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the pork chops
- Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using).
- Optional: Sear them in a skillet for 2-3 minutes per side to lock in flavor (skip if short on time).
- Mix the sauce
- In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix (or chopped onions), chicken broth, garlic, and any optional seasonings.
- Layer in the slow cooker
- Place the pork chops in the slow cooker.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the chops.
- Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- Pork chops are done when tender and internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Serve
- Spoon the sauce over the pork chops.
- Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
💡 Tip: For extra flavor, add sliced mushrooms, carrots, or potatoes directly to the slow cooker. They’ll soak up the sauce and cook perfectly alongside the pork.
If you want, I can also give you a version with a crispy topping that makes the pork chops feel more “oven-baked” even in a slow cooker. Do you want me to do that?
