Recipe Tips

  • Can I use boneless pork chops instead? Yes, boneless pork chops can be substituted for pork cutlets with the same cook time.
  • How to reduce sodium: Use low-sodium cream of mushroom soup and low-sodium broth to control salt levels.
  • Can I add vegetables? Sliced mushrooms or onions can be added for extra flavor and texture.
  • Do I need to brown the pork first? Browning is optional; it adds flavor but isn’t required for this recipe.

If you prefer thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
