Ingredients
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: sliced onions or mushrooms
Instructions
- Lightly grease the slow cooker to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the pork chops in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
-
In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce,
garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth. - Pour the mixture evenly over the pork chops.
- Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the top. Add onions or mushrooms if desired.
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or
HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the pork chops are tender. - Stir the gravy gently before serving.
Description
These pork chops cook slowly until they are melt-in-your-mouth tender.
The rich, creamy gravy is packed with savory onion flavor and pairs perfectly
with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. It’s a classic, comforting dish
that never goes out of style.
Tips
- Browning the pork chops before slow cooking adds extra flavor.
- Use low-sodium soup and broth to control saltiness.
-
For thicker gravy, stir in a cornstarch slurry
(1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water) during the last 30 minutes. - Serve with vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the richness.
Correction
- Too dry: Ensure pork chops are covered with gravy and avoid overcooking.
- Gravy too thin: Cook uncovered for the last 20–30 minutes or add cornstarch.
- Too salty: Add a splash of milk or unsalted broth to balance flavors.
Enjoy
Serve these Tender Slow-Cooked Pork Chops hot and generously covered in rich gravy.
Enjoy a comforting, satisfying meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or relaxed family dinners.
