Here’s a simple, foolproof slow cooker recipe based on that idea. It’s homestyle, comforting, and doesn’t require exotic ingredients—just pork chops and two easy add-ins.
Slow Cooker Pork Chops with 2 Ingredients
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
- 1 packet (1 oz / 28 g) dry onion soup mix
Optional:
- Salt and pepper (taste, if needed)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the Pork Chops
- Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired
- Sear in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side (optional, adds flavor)
- Add to Slow Cooker
- Place pork chops in the slow cooker
- Pour the cream of mushroom soup over them
- Sprinkle dry onion soup mix evenly on top
- Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours
- Pork should be tender and fully cooked (145°F / 63°C internal temperature)
- Serve
- Spoon the creamy sauce over chops
- Garnish with parsley
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables
Why This Works
- Cream of mushroom soup keeps chops moist and adds rich flavor
- Onion soup mix adds savory depth with minimal effort
- Slow cooking lets the pork become fall-apart tender
Tips
- For a little extra texture, add sliced mushrooms or carrots on top before cooking
- Leftovers taste great as a sandwich filling the next day
- Use bone-in chops for juicier results
This recipe is basically pork chops + cream of mushroom soup + onion soup mix, but it’s consistently comforting and crowd-pleasing—people really do ask for it again.
If you want, I can give a version with extra vegetables and herbs that turns it into a full one-pot meal without changing the simplicity.
Do you want me to do that?
