5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Smothered Pork Chops

🛒 Ingredients

• 4–6 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 1 packet onion soup mix
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 medium onion (sliced)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the slow cooker
   Lightly grease the slow cooker or spray with nonstick spray.
2. Layer the onions
   Place sliced onions on the bottom—this adds flavor and keeps the pork from sticking.
3. Add pork chops
   Lay the pork chops on top of the onions in a single layer.
4. Mix the sauce
   In a bowl, combine:
   • Cream of mushroom soup
   • Onion soup mix
   • Chicken broth
     Stir until smooth.
5. Pour & cook
   • Pour the mixture over the pork chops.
   • Cover and cook:
     • Low: 6–7 hours (best for tenderness)
     • High: 3–4 hours
6. Serve
   Spoon the rich gravy over the pork chops and onions.

✨ Tips for the Best Pork Chops

• Sear chops in a pan for 2–3 minutes per side before slow cooking for extra flavor (optional).
• Use thicker cuts to prevent drying out.
• Add mushrooms or garlic for more depth.

💡 Why it works

• Slow cooking breaks down the meat → ultra tender
• Onion soup mix + mushroom soup = instant rich, savory gravy
• Minimal ingredients, maximum comfort
