Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Creamy Pork Chops
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Bone-in or boneless pork chops | 4 (about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds total) |
| Cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup | 2 cans (10.5 ounces each) |
| Onion soup mix | 1 packet (1 ounce) |
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray or a small amount of oil for easier cleanup.
Arrange the pork chops in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker, overlapping slightly if needed but avoiding heavy stacking.
In a bowl, mix the cream soup and onion soup mix until fully combined into a thick, creamy gravy base.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops, making sure each chop is well coated.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the pork chops are extremely tender and fully cooked.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if needed, keeping in mind the soup mix is usually salty enough.
Serve hot with generous spoonfuls of creamy gravy over pork chops and your favorite side dish.
Variations & Tips
For extra richness, stir in 1/4 cup sour cream during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Add sliced onions or mushrooms before cooking for more texture and flavor. Swap cream of mushroom for cream of chicken or cream of celery to slightly change the taste while keeping it simple. Try garlic and herb or beefy onion soup mix for a tangier twist. For thicker gravy, leave the slow cooker lid off for the last 20–30 minutes or simmer some sauce on the stovetop to reduce. Leftovers reheat well and can be shredded and served over noodles or toast for an easy second meal.
