If you’re looking for an effortless, comforting meal that practically makes itself, you can’t beat this Cozy Creamy Mushroom Slow Cooker Pork Chops recipe. It only takes three ingredients to transform pork chops into a tender, flavorful dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights or a lazy Sunday supper. With minimal prep and plenty of cozy vibes, these pork chops are bound to become a family favorite.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 pouch onion soup mix
Instructions
Begin by placing the pork chops in the bottom of your slow cooker, arranging them in a single layer if possible. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and the onion soup mix until they’re well combined. The onion soup adds a hint of savory depth that pairs beautifully with the creaminess of the mushroom soup.
Next, pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops, making sure each chop is covered. This creates the perfect environment for the chops to simmer in their own gravy as they cook.
Set your slow cooker to low and cook for six to eight hours, or until the chops are melt-in-your-mouth tender and easily pull apart with a fork. If you’re pressed for time, cook on high for four hours—just keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overcook.
Once they’re done, spoon extra sauce over each pork chop when serving. If you’d like, you can thicken the gravy by transferring it to a small saucepan and whisking in a cornstarch slurry (a tablespoon each of cornstarch and cold water) over low heat.
Serve the pork chops over fluffy mashed potatoes or buttery egg noodles for a simple meal that feels oh-so-satisfying. Add a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp salad to round out the plate with a bit of color and crunch.
This recipe is terrific for anyone seeking an easy, hearty dinner without a lot of fuss—or a long ingredient list. Creamy sauces are always a hit, and this one is especially great for those looking for a comforting dish that can be easily adapted. Feel free to use low-sodium soup if you’re watching your salt intake, or experiment with different cream soup flavors for extra variety. The best part is that it’s nearly impossible to mess up—just set it and let your slow cooker work its magic, promising you a cozy, no-hassle meal any day of the week.
