| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bone-in pork chops | 4 (about 1-inch thick) | |
| Cream of mushroom soup | 1 can (10.5 oz) | |
| Dry onion soup mix | 1 packet (1 oz) | |
| Fresh herbs | Optional | Thyme or parsley for garnish |
- Slow cooker (4–6 quart recommended)
- Spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups
Step 1: Prep the Pork Chops
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Optional: Season lightly with salt and pepper for extra flavor.
Step 2: Layer in the Slow Cooker
- Place pork chops in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the chops.
- Pour the cream of mushroom soup on top, spreading gently to cover.
Step 3: Cook Low and Slow
- Cover with the lid.
Step 4: Check Doneness
- Pork chops should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Meat should be fork-tender but still hold together.
- If the sauce is too thin, remove the chops and simmer the sauce on high for 10–15 minutes to thicken.
Step 5: Serve
- Transfer pork chops to plates or a serving platter.
- Spoon the creamy mushroom-onion sauce over the top.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Step 6: Pair with Sides
- Mashed potatoes or rice (perfect for soaking up the sauce)
- Steamed green beans, broccoli, or carrots for a fresh touch
- Warm crusty bread for a homestyle finish
