Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
- Fresh herbs, optional (thyme or parsley for garnish)
Equipment Needed
- Slow cooker (4–6 quart recommended)
- Spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pork Chops
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Optional: Season lightly with salt and pepper for extra flavor.
Step 2: Layer in the Slow Cooker
Place pork chops in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the chops.
Pour the cream of mushroom soup on top, spreading gently to cover.
Step 3: Cook Low and Slow
Cover with the lid.
Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until tender and juicy.
💡 Tip: Avoid lifting the lid—every peek lets heat escape and adds cooking time.
Step 4: Check Doneness
Pork chops should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Meat should be fork-tender but still hold together.
If the sauce is too thin, remove the chops and simmer the sauce on high for 10–15 minutes to thicken.
Step 5: Serve
Transfer pork chops to plates or a serving platter.
Spoon the creamy mushroom-onion sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Step 6: Pair with Sides
Mashed potatoes or rice (perfect for soaking up the sauce)
Steamed green beans, broccoli, or carrots for a fresh touch
Warm crusty bread for a homestyle finish
Tender, creamy, and effortless—these slow cooker pork chops turn an ordinary weeknight into a comforting feast.
