Print Recipe

A comforting and easy slow cooker recipe featuring tender bone-in pork chops simmered in a creamy mushroom gravy. Perfect for busy weeknights or cozy dinners with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (1 to 1.5 inches thick)
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced (white button or cremini)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and chopped onion, cooking until softened and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic in the last minute to avoid burning.
  3. Optional: Quickly sear the pork chops in the skillet over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  4. In a bowl, combine the can of cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Place the pork chops in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the sautéed mushrooms and onions evenly over the pork chops. Then pour the creamy gravy mixture on top, spreading gently to cover the meat.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until pork is fork-tender and gravy is thickened and bubbly. Avoid lifting the lid too often.
  7. About 15 minutes before serving, gently stir the gravy. If too thin, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and stir it in, cooking for a few more minutes to thicken.
  8. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.

Notes

Searing the pork chops before slow cooking adds flavor but is optional. Avoid lifting the slow cooker lid frequently to maintain cooking temperature. Use bone-in pork chops for juicier results. If gravy is too thin, thicken with cornstarch slurry. Frozen mushrooms can be used if fresh are unavailable. For dairy-free or low-carb adaptations, substitute sour cream and cream of mushroom soup accordingly.
