Ingredients
You only need three simple ingredients:
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1 inch thick)

- 1 packet onion soup mix
Equipment
- Slow cooker (crockpot)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pork Chops
Start by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps them absorb more flavor during cooking.
Optional step (but recommended):
For extra flavor, sear the pork chops in a hot skillet with a little oil for 2–3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. This adds a deeper, richer taste to the final dish.
Step 2: Layer in the Slow Cooker
Place the pork chops at the bottom of your slow cooker in a single layer if possible. Slight overlapping is fine, but avoid stacking too much.
