Step 2: Layer in the Slow Cooker
Place the pork chops in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the chops. Pour the cream of mushroom soup on top and spread gently to cover the meat.
Step 3: Cook Low and Slow
Cover with the lid. Cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking, as this releases heat and can extend cooking time.
Step 4: Check for Doneness
The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145°F (63°C). The meat should be fork-tender but not falling apart. If the sauce is too thin, remove the chops and simmer the sauce on high for 10–15 minutes until it thickens.
Step 5: Serve
Transfer the pork chops to plates or a serving platter. Spoon the creamy mushroom-onion sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- Mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the sauce
- Steamed vegetables such as green beans, broccoli, or carrots
