How To Make Crock Pot Smothered Pork Chops

1. Make the gravy base: Add cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, onion soup mix, and garlic to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine.
2. Add the pork chops: Place the pork chops in the slow cooker and stir to fully coat them in the gravy mixture.
3. Cook the pork chops: Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours, until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.

5. Serve: Spoon the gravy over the pork chops and serve warm.

Recipe Tips

• Can I use a different soup? Yes, cream of mushroom works just as well if you prefer a deeper flavor.
• How do I thicken the gravy? Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the hot gravy for a thicker texture.
• Can I use boneless pork chops? You can, but bone-in pork chops tend to be more flavorful and stay juicier.
• How do I know when they’re done? The pork should be very tender but not falling apart. Adjust cook time based on your slow cooker.
• Can I make this ahead? Yes, assemble everything in the crock pot insert and refrigerate overnight. Start cooking the next day.
