Ingredients
4 pork chops, bone-in or boneless (about 1–1½ pounds total)
2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
(or cream of chicken or cream of celery)1 (1 oz) packet onion soup mix
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Slow Cooker
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Step 2: Add the Pork Chops
Arrange the pork chops in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker. Slight overlapping is fine—just avoid stacking them too tightly.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce
In a bowl, mix the cream soup and onion soup mix until fully combined. The mixture will be thick, which helps create a rich, comforting gravy as it cooks.
Step 4: Pour and Cover
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops, making sure each piece is well coated.
Step 5: Slow Cook
Cover and cook:
LOW: 6–8 hours
HIGH: 3–4 hours
The pork chops are done when they’re very tender and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F / 63°C).
Step 6: Serve
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if needed (the soup mix is usually salty enough). Serve the pork chops hot, spooning plenty of creamy gravy over each one.
Variations & Helpful Tips
Extra Creamy Option
Stir in ¼ cup sour cream during the last 15 minutes of cooking for extra richness (this adds a fourth ingredient).
Add Texture
Scatter sliced onions or mushrooms over the pork chops before adding the soup mixture—a traditional touch many home cooks love.
Change the Flavor
Swap cream of mushroom for cream of chicken or cream of celery. You can also use garlic & herb or beefy onion soup mix for a slightly different taste.
Thicker Gravy
For a thicker sauce, leave the slow cooker lid off for the last 20–30 minutes, or simmer some of the gravy on the stove until reduced.
Leftover Ideas
Leftovers reheat beautifully and can be shredded and served over egg noodles, rice, or toast the next day—turning one meal into two.
