Step 3: Cook Low and Slow
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to low heat for 6–7 hours, or high heat for 3–4 hours. The pork chops should cook slowly until they are tender, juicy, and infused with the creamy, savory sauce.
💡 Tip: Avoid lifting the lid during cooking—every peek lets heat escape and can add cooking time.
Step 4: Check for Doneness
After the cooking time, check the pork chops with a meat thermometer. They should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The meat should be tender enough to pull apart with a fork but not fall apart completely.
If the sauce seems too thin, you can remove the pork chops and simmer the sauce on high in the slow cooker for 10–15 minutes to thicken it slightly.
Step 5: Serve
Transfer the pork chops to plates or a serving platter and spoon the creamy mushroom-onion sauce over them. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Step 6: Pair with Sides
This dish pairs perfectly with simple sides like:
- Mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the sauce
- Steamed green beans, broccoli, or carrots for color and freshness
- Warm crusty bread for an extra homestyle touch
Tips for Maximum Flavor
- Brown the pork chops first (optional) – A quick sear in a hot pan before slow cooking adds depth of flavor.
- Add a splash of broth or wine – If you like a slightly thinner sauce, 1/4 cup of chicken broth or white wine enhances richness.
- Double it for leftovers – This recipe scales beautifully. Leftovers taste even better the next day!
Why This Recipe Works
The genius of this dish is its simplicity. The slow cooker gently melts the pork chops into a tender perfection while the onion soup mix adds savory depth, and the cream of mushroom soup creates a creamy, comforting sauce. Together, these two ingredients transform a basic cut of meat into a homestyle meal that feels like it came from grandma’s kitchen.
