Ingredients
- 4–6 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1 inch thick)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 medium onion, sliced thin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (optional, for searing)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and trim excess fat if needed.
- Optional: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. (This step is optional.)
- Place pork chops in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer. Scatter sliced onion over the top.
- In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to taste. Pour sauce evenly over pork chops and onions.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until pork is fork-tender and sauce is bubbling.
- Remove pork chops to a plate. Stir sour cream into the sauce in the crockpot until smooth. Return pork chops to the sauce and spoon some over the top.
- Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Notes
For best results, use thick (1-inch) pork chops and cook on low. Searing the chops before slow cooking adds extra flavor but is optional. Sauce can be thickened by removing the lid for the last 30 minutes or thinned with a splash of broth or milk. Use gluten-free or dairy-free substitutes as needed. Add mushrooms, carrots, or peas for extra veggies. Leftovers are delicious and freeze well.
