Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 3 pounds)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup (1 can)
- 10.5 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup (1 can)
- 3/4 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1 small onion, sliced
Instructions
- Season and Sear: Preheat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sear each side for about 3 minutes until browned, then remove from the pan.
- Prepare Gravy Base: In the same pan, combine the condensed soups and beef broth, whisking to deglaze the pan and release browned bits from the bottom.
- Layer in Slow Cooker: Place sliced mushrooms and onions at the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Arrange the pork chops on top and pour the soup mixture over the meat.
- Slow Cook: Cook on low for 7–8 hours until the pork becomes tender and falls apart easily. For a thicker gravy, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water) during the last 30 minutes.
- Serve: Enjoy the dish warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a hearty, flavorful meal.
