Ingredients

This recipe is heavy on spices that are going to add great savory flavor.

Black pepper
Garlic powder

Parsley
Olive Oil
Cream of mushroom soup

Cooking Tip – It’s easy to overcook pork chops especially if they are thin, so for this recipe splurge and buy nice thick cut ¾ to 1 inch chops with a little bit of marbling.

If you can only buy boneless chops make sure they are thick and watch the cooking time since they will cook faster than the bone-in chops.

Pork chops, onions, cans of soup, herbs for recipe.

Let's cook

There are two cooking steps for this recipe

Frying the pork chops to get a nice golden brown sear on them.
Finishing up with low and slow cooking in the crockpot, which will make these thick-cut pork chops nice and tender.

Step 1 In a small bowl mix all of the seasonings together.

Step 2. Clean the mushrooms and slice and then slice the onion.

Step 3. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Pat the pork dry with paper towels to remove any moisture then sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides.

Step 4. Add the chops to the hot skillet and sear on each side for three minutes, then remove from the pan to a plate. You may have to fry the chops in batches.

Step 6. To the skillet, add both cans of soup and the beef broth, then whisk until a sauce develops. Add the leftover seasonings to the sauce.

Sauce tips – When making the sauce always scrape any brown bits on the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.

Serving suggestions

While these slow cooker pork chops are cooking make a batch of creamy mashed potatoes, Ham and Green Beans, and these Easy Biscuits. This is the ultimate homestyle meal that will make your family happy.

Cooking times & temperature

Cooking times vary depending on your crock pot, and the thickness of the pork chops, and if they are bone-in chops or boneless.

It's best to check the chops near the end of the cooking time to see if they are tender, you may have to adjust for more or less cooking depending on the tenderness.

Bone-In Pork Chops: Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours.
Boneless Pork Chops: Cook on low for 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours.

It's always best to check the internal temperature of meats and pork chops should reach 145 degrees F.

FAQ's

Do I need to sear the pork chops first?

I prefer precooking the pork chops which helps them retain moisture and adds a golden brown color and extra flavoring from frying.

Can raw pork chops be added to the crockpot?

It is ok to use raw pork chops, they just will not have the depth of flavor as seared chops.

Can I cook these smothered pork chops on high?

For best results, these thick pork chops need to cook on low so they stay tender and juicy.

Storage

If you have leftover pork chops store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can also freeze the leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Reheating- Place the pork chops and gravy in a baking pan and cover with foil. Heat them up in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or just until heated through.
