Step 3: Layer in the Slow Cooker
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or lightly brush with oil to prevent sticking. Place the pork chops in a single layer at the bottom. Then, pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops, making sure each chop is coated.
Step 4: Slow Cook to Perfection
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours. Cooking low and slow ensures the pork chops become tender and flavorful. Avoid lifting the lid frequently, as this can increase cooking time.
Pro Tip: For extra flavor, you can sprinkle a little garlic powder or paprika over the pork chops before pouring the sauce.
Step 5: Serve
Once cooked, the pork chops will be fork-tender and coated in a creamy, savory sauce. Serve immediately over mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Steamed vegetables like green beans or carrots make a perfect side to round out this homestyle meal.

Variations
