Here’s a tender and flavorful way to make Pork Chops in a Slow Cooker—easy, hands-off, and perfect for a weeknight meal. 🥩🍲
🥘 Slow Cooker Pork Chops
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter (for optional searing)
🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Optional: Sear the Pork Chops
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear pork chops 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
- This adds flavor but can be skipped for convenience.
2️⃣ Prepare Slow Cooker
- Place sliced onions and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Season pork chops with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
- Lay pork chops over the onions.
3️⃣ Add Sauce
- Mix cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth in a bowl.
- Pour over pork chops.
4️⃣ Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until pork chops are tender.
5️⃣ Serve
- Remove pork chops and spoon some sauce over the top.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
💡 Tips
- Use boneless chops for faster cooking or thinner cuts.
- Add sliced mushrooms, carrots, or potatoes to cook with the pork for a one-pot meal.
- For a thicker sauce, stir in 1–2 tsp cornstarch mixed with water 15 minutes before serving.
If you want, I can also give a quick 30-minute skillet version of creamy pork chops that mimics the slow cooker flavors but cooks fast on the stove. Do you want me to do that?
