Oh, slow cooker smothered pork chops—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor! Here’s a reliable way to make them:
Slow Cooker Smothered Pork Chops
Ingredients:
- 4–6 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
- 1 cup onion, sliced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika (optional)
- ½ cup chicken broth (or water)
- 2–3 tbsp flour (optional, for thicker gravy)
Steps:
- Prep Pork Chops:
- Season chops lightly with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Optional: lightly brown in a skillet 2–3 minutes per side for extra flavor.
- Layer in Slow Cooker:
- Place sliced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Lay pork chops on top.
- Mix cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, and optional flour in a bowl. Pour over chops.
- Cook:
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until pork chops are tender.
- Finish & Serve:
- If gravy is too thin, remove chops and stir in 1–2 tbsp flour to thicken, cook 10–15 min.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a true Southern-style meal.
If you want, I can also give a shortcut skillet version that smothers the pork chops quickly on the stove in about 30 minutes—but still tender and saucy.
Do you want me to give that version too?
