Ingredients for Slow Cooker Pork Chop Supper
You’ll need just four simple ingredients:
4 pork chops (boneless or bone-in, about 1 to 1½ pounds total)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
(or cream of chicken soup for a milder flavor)1 packet onion soup mix
(or pork gravy mix, about 1 ounce)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or rub it with a small amount of oil. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup much easier.
Step 2: Layer the Onions
Spread the thinly sliced onions evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
This onion layer:
Adds deep flavor
Prevents the pork chops from sticking
Helps keep the meat moist during slow cooking
Step 3: Arrange the Pork Chops
Place the raw pork chops on top of the onions in a single layer as much as possible. Slight overlapping is perfectly fine.
Step 4: Make the Creamy Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together:
Cream of mushroom (or chicken) soup
Onion soup mix (or pork gravy mix)
Stir until fully combined. The mixture will be thick—this is exactly what you want for a rich, comforting gravy.
Step 5: Add the Sauce
Spoon the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops, making sure all the meat is well coated.
As it cooks, the sauce will slowly blend with the onions to create a flavorful, creamy gravy.
Step 6: Slow Cook
Cover with the lid and cook:
LOW: 6–7 hours
HIGH: 3–4 hours
The pork chops are done when they’re tender and reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
Step 7: Rest and Serve
Once cooking is complete, gently stir the onions and sauce. Let the pork chops rest in the warm gravy for 5 minutes with the lid off.
Serve hot, spooning plenty of onions and creamy sauce over each pork chop.
