Slow Cooker Creamy Garlic Pork Chops and Potatoes

Introduction

Slow Cooker Creamy Garlic Pork Chops and Potatoes is the kind of comforting, home-style meal
that feels like a warm hug at the end of a long day. Tender pork chops slowly simmer in a rich,
garlicky cream sauce while baby potatoes cook to buttery perfection right alongside them.
With minimal prep and simple ingredients, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or relaxed Sunday dinners.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless or bone-in pork chops
• 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes (halved if large)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Sear the Pork (Optional but Recommended):
   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt, pepper,
   and paprika. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden.
2. Prepare the Slow Cooker:
   Place baby potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
   In a bowl, mix heavy cream, cream soup, minced garlic, chopped onion,
   and Italian seasoning until well combined.
4. Assemble:
   Lay the pork chops over the potatoes. Pour the creamy garlic mixture evenly over the top.
5. Cook:
   Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours,
   until pork is tender and potatoes are fork-soft.
6. Finish & Garnish:
   Spoon sauce over pork chops before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Description

This dish delivers juicy, melt-in-your-mouth pork chops coated in a velvety garlic cream sauce.
The potatoes soak up all the savory flavors as they cook, making every bite creamy, garlicky,
and deeply satisfying. It’s a full meal in one pot with minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.

Tips

• Add a splash of chicken broth or white cooking wine for extra flavor.
• Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a richer, buttery texture.
• Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese during the last 30 minutes for added creaminess.
• If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken.
• Boneless pork chops cook slightly faster than bone-in, so adjust time if needed.

Correction & Notes

• Avoid overcooking, as pork chops can become dry if left too long.
• Ensure pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
• If sauce separates slightly, stir gently before serving to bring it back together.

Enjoy!

Serve hot with crusty bread or a fresh green salad to complete the meal.
