Easy Slow Cooker Chops

Lali1 — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 14:37:12 GMT

I have made this every week since I found it. I am very particular about how protein is cooked and found these to be so yummy. I do not use an onion there's enough with the soup and soup mix and I think you could probably omit one of those. I also add cut up potatoes to the mix. I cut them up instead of using small potatoes because they get infused with the flavor better.

@Lali1 @Thanks, most of the pork these days comes out dry. This looks like it won't do this. I'd like to add some fresh mushrooms to it.

I have made this many times and tweak it by not using cream of onion soup, instead cream of mushroom and carmelize the onion first....so good!

This was one of the first recipes I ever cooked.....as a new wife...so many years ago!! But we don't really like onions, so I use cream of mushroom soup and add sliced mushrooms!!

Oh no they are moist and fall apart. I think you can add all kinds of things to this recipe.

I use cream of whatever soup. Last week I forgot the cream of soup so I had to make some. No matter how I make this it's the chops that are the star.

That sounds good. I'll have to try that.

this sounds good, although i will substitute cream of chicken or cream of celery in place of the cream of mushroom.

will probably also use some chicken stock instead of the water.

i agree with the poster who said that pork chops these days tend to be quite dry. i do think they trim them too much also.....they really do need a bit of fat on them to keep them more moist.

After years of attempting to cook pork chops in the slow cooker, I finally figured out what works best for me.

I buy the thickest chops I can find and cook them for 4 hours on low adding different BBQ sauces etc. I can't get thin chops to do anything but fall apart in the slow cooker.

@Lali1 I have used the mushroom soup with water on pounded braised flank steak with carmelized onions and fresh mushrooms and garlic in a large cast iron skillet and baked for about 1 1/2 hours to tenderize.

It was always a favorite with our sons, and of course, as a bonus, loaded with iron.

This is a great recipe. I've been making pork chops (and chicken breasts) in my slow cooker with cream of mushroom soup and dry onion soup for many years. Last year I started adding a half packet of the dry Ranch seasoning mix. I only make a couple of pork chops at a time for the two of us, so I usually only need 1 can of soup.

Both the pork chops and chicken breasts always turn out extremely tender and moist every time.

@Lali1 Thanks for this recipe link! I'm currently visiting my DD and her family, and I was looking for something easy we could make together. All ingredients are in the slow cooker, and I'll report back after dinner! Some picky eaters here (SIL), so this is a real test!

Enjoy your visit. I hope you like it. I have it in the crockpot as well. Minus the ranch dressing which I didn't have. I did add some canned mushrooms. I can't wait to hear how you like it.

@Lali1 A complete success! The only thing I changed was using Chardonnay instead of water, because...well you know. Grandchildren loved it - ages 1 year to 14. My picky SIL as well. We paired it with egg noodles and broccoli.

Oh that's great news.
