Pork Chops In Slow Cooker With Mushroom Soup

by

When it comes to comfort food, few dishes hit the spot quite like pork chops cooked in a slow cooker with mushroom soup. This hearty and flavorful meal is a favorite in my household, and I’m excited to share my personal recipe and tips for creating the perfect slow-cooked pork chops with creamy mushroom gravy.

Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 packet of onion soup mix
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Sliced mushrooms, garlic, and onion for added flavor

Instructions:

  1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then brown them in a skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. This step adds depth of flavor to the dish.
  2. In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, and chicken broth. If you love mushrooms, you can also add in some sliced mushrooms at this stage for extra earthy goodness.
  3. Place the browned pork chops in the slow cooker, and pour the soup mixture over them.
  4. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The slow cooking process ensures that the pork chops become tender and flavorful, while the mushroom soup creates a rich and creamy gravy.
  5. Once the cooking time is up, you’ll be greeted by the irresistible aroma of tender pork chops in a creamy mushroom sauce.

Now, let’s talk about personal touches. While the basic recipe is delicious on its own, I often like to add some extra flair. Sometimes I’ll toss in a few cloves of minced garlic for a subtle kick, or sauté some onions to caramelize and deepen the flavor profile. These little additions can take the dish to new heights, making it even more satisfying.

Pairing and Serving:

This dish pairs perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes, buttery rice, or even buttered noodles. The creamy mushroom gravy is so versatile and complements starches wonderfully. A simple side of steamed green beans or roasted vegetables adds a pop of color and freshness to the plate.

Conclusion:

There’s something truly magical about the way the slow cooker transforms simple ingredients into a comforting and satisfying meal. Pork chops in slow cooker with mushroom soup is a dish that never fails to impress, and it’s become a beloved staple in my home. The tender pork, infused with the savory flavors of mushroom soup, is the ultimate comfort food that is sure to warm both the heart and the belly.
