- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- ½ cup chicken broth
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Add the Pork Chops
Place the boneless pork chops in an even layer in the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Make the Sauce
In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix, and chicken broth. Stir until well combined.
4. Pour Over the Pork
Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the pork chops, making sure they’re well coated.
5. Slow Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours, or until the pork is tender and reaches a safe internal temperature.
Avoid overcooking, since pork chops can become dry if left in the slow cooker too long.
6. Serve
Spoon the creamy onion-mushroom gravy over the pork chops and serve immediately.
Helpful Tips
Choose pork chops of similar thickness: This helps them cook evenly.
Don’t skip the sauce: The creamy mixture helps keep the pork moist while adding plenty of flavor.
Use LOW heat: Slow cooking on LOW gives the pork a more tender texture.
Want extra flavor? Add freshly cracked black pepper or a little dried parsley before serving.

Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pork chops and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
To reheat, warm gently in the microwave or in a covered skillet over low heat. Add a small splash of broth if the gravy becomes too thick.
