🧂 Ingredients
4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 medium onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for optional thickening)
👩🍳 Instructions
Sear the Pork Chops
Season pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and sear pork chops for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. (This step boosts flavor, but you can skip it if you’re short on time.)
Layer in the Slow Cooker
Place sliced onions and garlic in the bottom of your slow cooker. Arrange pork chops on top.
Make the Gravy
In a bowl, whisk together soup, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and herbs (if using). Pour over the pork chops.
Cook Low & Slow
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until pork is fork-tender.
Optional: Thicken the Gravy
For a thicker sauce, whisk together cornstarch and water. Stir into the gravy during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Serve & Enjoy
Spoon the pork chops and gravy over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. Don’t forget the dinner rolls to soak up that sauce!
