👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pork Chops
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove extra moisture.
If you like, lightly season them with salt and pepper for additional flavor.
Step 2: Arrange in the Slow Cooker
Place the pork chops in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the meat.
Spoon the cream of mushroom soup over the top and spread it gently so the chops are coated.
Step 3: Cook Slowly
Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook:
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
The pork chops should become tender and juicy as they cook.
💡 Tip: Try not to lift the lid during cooking—each time it’s opened, heat escapes and can lengthen the cooking time.
Step 4: Check for Doneness
The pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
It should be tender enough to cut easily with a fork while still holding its shape.
If the sauce seems too thin, remove the pork chops and let the sauce cook on high for 10–15 minutes to thicken.
Step 5: Serve
Place the pork chops on plates or a serving dish and spoon the creamy mushroom-onion sauce over them.
Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs if you’d like a little color and flavor.
Step 6: Suggested Side Dishes
Serve these pork chops with:
- Mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the sauce
- Steamed vegetables like green beans, broccoli, or carrots
- Crusty bread for a classic homestyle meal
✨ Rich, tender, and incredibly easy—these slow cooker pork chops can turn a regular weeknight dinner into a warm and satisfying comfort meal.
