Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) cream of chicken soup
- 1 packet (1 oz / 28 g) onion soup mix
- 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt (optional, adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- Prepare the crock pot:
- Lightly grease the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- Season the pork chops:
- Sprinkle the pork chops with paprika, black pepper, and salt (if using).
- Layer the ingredients:
- Place the sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the crock pot. Arrange the pork chops on top.
- Mix the sauce:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, onion soup mix, and chicken broth. Pour the mixture over the pork chops, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Cook:
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F / 63°C).
- Optional thickening:
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Serve:
- Serve the smothered pork chops hot, with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables. Spoon the gravy generously over the top.
Notes
- For extra flavor, brown the pork chops in a skillet before adding them to the crock pot.
- Substitute cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup with cream of celery for a different flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
