Ingredients

• 4 thick-cut boneless pork chops
• 1 packet dry onion soup mix
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup beef broth

That’s it—just 4 main ingredients! No complicated seasoning blend is needed because the onion soup mix provides plenty of savory flavor.

How to Make Golden Onion Soup Pork Chops

1. Prepare the Pork Chops

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. If they are especially thick, trim any large pieces of excess fat.

Place the pork chops in a single layer in the bottom of your slow cooker.

2. Make the Golden Onion Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and dry onion soup mix until mostly smooth.

The mixture will create a rich, savory sauce as it cooks.

3. Add the Sauce

Pour the golden onion mixture evenly over the pork chops, making sure each chop is coated with the sauce.

Cover the slow cooker with the lid.

4. Slow Cook

Cook on LOW for 4–6 hours, or until the pork chops are tender and reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).

Cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops and your slow cooker. Avoid overcooking lean pork chops, as they can become dry.

5. Serve

Carefully transfer the pork chops to serving plates and spoon plenty of the warm golden onion sauce over the top.

Serve immediately with your favorite comfort-food sides.

Tips for the Best Slow Cooker Pork Chops

Choose thick-cut pork chops when possible because they tend to stay juicier during slow cooking.

For the best texture, use a meat thermometer to check the thickest part of the pork chops. Pork whole cuts are safe at 145°F (63°C) followed by a short rest.

Try not to lift the slow cooker lid repeatedly while cooking. Each time the lid is removed, heat escapes and cooking can take longer.

The sauce is one of the best parts of this recipe, so spoon plenty over the pork before serving.

What to Serve With Onion Soup Pork Chops

These pork chops are especially good with creamy mashed potatoes because the golden onion sauce can be spooned right over the potatoes.

Other easy sides include:

• Steamed green beans
• Roasted carrots
• Buttered egg noodles
• Creamy mashed potatoes
• Steamed broccoli
• Rice
• Roasted potatoes

For a classic family-style dinner, serve the pork chops with mashed potatoes and a simple green vegetable.

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftover pork chops and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.

Reheat gently in the microwave or in a covered skillet over low heat. Spoon some of the sauce over the pork while reheating to help keep it moist.

You can also freeze the cooked pork chops with some sauce in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use bone-in pork chops?

Yes. Bone-in pork chops can be used, although the cooking time may vary depending on their thickness.

Can I use cream of chicken soup?

Yes. Cream of chicken soup can replace the cream of mushroom soup if preferred. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.

Can I brown the pork chops first?

Absolutely. Browning the pork chops in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker can add extra color and flavor, although it isn’t necessary for this easy four-ingredient recipe.

Can I make the sauce thicker?

Yes. If you want a thicker gravy-like sauce, transfer some of the cooking liquid to a saucepan after cooking and simmer it gently until it reaches your preferred consistency.
