Ohhh yes 😌 slow cooker pork chops are pure comfort—fork-tender, juicy, and basically cook-themselves. Here’s a classic, cozy version that never fails.
🐖 Slow Cooker Pork Chops (Tender & Creamy)
Ingredients
- 4–6 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, ¾–1 inch thick)
- Salt & black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional but recommended)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- Optional: mushrooms, thyme, or a splash of Worcestershire
Instructions
- Season pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- (Optional but tasty) Sear chops in a hot skillet with olive oil, 2 minutes per side, for extra flavor.
- Layer sliced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place pork chops on top.
- Whisk cream of mushroom soup with broth (and Worcestershire if using). Pour over chops.
- Cover and cook:
- LOW: 6–7 hours
- HIGH: 3–4 hours
- Serve hot with gravy spooned over the top.
🔥 Pro Tips
- Don’t overcook on HIGH—pork chops can dry out.
- Bone-in chops stay juicier.
- If gravy is thin, remove chops and cook sauce on HIGH uncovered 15–20 min, or thicken with cornstarch slurry.
🍽️ Perfect Sides
- Mashed potatoes or rice
- Green beans or peas
- Biscuits or dinner rolls
🔄 Easy Variations
- Southern style: add a pinch of Cajun seasoning
- Garlic ranch: replace soup with cream of chicken + ranch seasoning
- Apple pork chops: add sliced apples and a touch of cinnamon
If you want, I can give a no-soup version, smothered onion gravy style, or a healthy slow-cooker pork chop recipe next.
