Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 pork chops (about 2 pounds, bone-in or boneless, 1-inch thick preferred)
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 packet (about 1 oz) onion soup mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Optional: 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- Optional: 1 small onion, chopped
- Optional: Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Optionally, season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
- Optional: Heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for about 2 minutes per side until golden.
- Place pork chops in the bottom of the slow cooker. Scatter mushrooms and onions around and on top if using.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, onion soup mix, garlic powder, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour evenly over pork chops. Dot with butter pieces.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until pork chops are fork-tender and sauce is thickened. Check early if your slow cooker runs hot.
- If sauce is thin, remove lid for last 30 minutes to reduce. If too thick, add a splash of broth or water.
- Gently transfer pork chops to a serving platter. Stir sauce and spoon over chops. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Notes
For gluten-free, use gluten-free soup and broth. For dairy-free, use plant-based cream soup and butter. Searing the chops before slow cooking adds extra flavor but is optional. To thicken gravy, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir in during the last 30 minutes. Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days in the fridge or 2 months in the freezer.
