A simple, slow-cooker pork chop recipe that yields tender meat and rich, savory gravy using just five pantry-friendly ingredients. Perfect for busy weeknights and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Bone-in, thick-cut pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix (e.g., Lipton)
  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup water or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Spray a 4-to-6-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or rub with oil.
  2. Optional: Season pork chops with salt and pepper, then sear in a hot skillet with oil for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
  3. Place pork chops in the slow cooker in a single layer (or max two layers if necessary).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry onion soup mix and condensed cream of mushroom soup.
  5. Add the water or chicken broth to the soup mixture and stir until smooth.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the pork chops, ensuring they are coated.
  7. Cover and cook on Low for 6-8 hours or on High for 3-4 hours, until pork is fork-tender.
  8. Remove pork chops and set aside on a plate.
  9. If gravy is too thin, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water to make a slurry. Stir into the gravy and cook on High for 15-20 minutes to thicken.
  10. Stir in butter if using, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve over pork chops.
