​🥩 Slow Cooker Smothered Pork Chops

This recipe is famous for being “set it and forget it.” It creates incredibly tender meat with a rich, savory gravy.

Ingredients

  • Meat: 4 to 6 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick).
  • Seasoning: 1 packet (1 oz) Dry Onion Soup Mix (as seen in your photo).
  • The Sauce: 1 can (10.5 oz) Condensed Cream of Mushroom soup (or Cream of Chicken).
  • Liquid: 1/2 cup water or chicken/beef broth.
  • Optional Spices: 1/2 tsp garlic powder and black pepper to taste.

Instructions

  1. Layer the Meat: Place the pork chops in the bottom of your slow cooker in an even layer.
  2. Season: Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the top of the chops (just like the image you shared).
  3. Mix the Gravy: In a small bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and the water (or broth) until smooth.
  4. Pour: Pour the soup mixture over the seasoned pork chops.
  5. Cook:
    • Low Heat: Cook for 6 to 7 hours (recommended for the most tender results).
    • High Heat: Cook for 3 to 4 hours.
  6. Serve: Once the meat is fork-tender, serve the chops topped with the creamy gravy from the pot.

💡 Pro Tips:

  • Side Dishes: This goes perfectly over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or white rice to soak up that delicious onion gravy.
  • Veggies: You can toss in some sliced fresh mushrooms or baby carrots at the beginning for a full one-pot meal.
