Here’s a simple and delicious slow cooker pork chops recipe that keeps them tender and flavorful:
🥘 Slow Cooker Pork Chops
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix (or 1 cup chopped onions + 1 tsp garlic powder)
- ½ cup water or chicken broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon paprika or Italian seasoning
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pork Chops
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Optional: Sear in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side for extra flavor (not required).
2. Mix the Sauce
- In a bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, and water/broth.
- Stir until smooth.
3. Assemble in Slow Cooker
- Place pork chops in the slow cooker.
- Pour the soup mixture over the chops, covering them evenly.
4. Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours.
- Pork chops should be tender and fully cooked (internal temperature ≥145°F / 63°C).
5. Serve
- Spoon some of the creamy sauce over the chops when serving.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
Tips & Variations
- Add vegetables: Carrots, mushrooms, or potatoes cook nicely with pork chops in the slow cooker.
- Make it tangy: Add 1–2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or mustard to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Thicken the sauce: Remove chops at the end and stir in 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water, cook 5–10 minutes on high to thicken.
