Tender pork chops cook slowly over a bed of sliced onions and are covered in a rich, creamy gravy. The result is juicy, flavorful meat that practically falls apart and a delicious sauce that pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.<\/p>\n<h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)<\/li>\n<li>2 large onions, thinly sliced<\/li>\n<li>1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup<\/li>\n<li>1 cup chicken broth<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon garlic powder<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon onion powder<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon paprika<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon dried thyme (optional)<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon salt (or to taste)<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon olive oil or butter<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker gravy)<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons water (for cornstarch slurry)<\/li>\n<li>Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Instructions<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1. Prepare the slow cooker<\/strong><br \/>\nStart by placing the sliced onions in the bottom of your slow cooker. Spread them evenly to create a bed for the pork chops. The onions will add flavor and keep the meat from sticking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Season the pork chops<\/strong><br \/>\nPat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme if using.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Optional searing step (adds extra flavor)<\/strong><br \/>\nHeat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for about 2 minutes per side until lightly golden. This step is optional but helps add deeper flavor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Add pork chops to the slow cooker<\/strong><br \/>\nPlace the seasoned pork chops directly on top of the sliced onions inside the slow cooker.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Make the creamy sauce<\/strong><br \/>\nIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the pork chops.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Cook slowly<\/strong><br \/>\nCover the slow cooker with the lid and cook:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Low:<\/strong> 6\u20137 hours<\/li>\n<li><strong>High:<\/strong> 3\u20134 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The pork chops should become very tender and easy to cut with a fork.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Thicken the gravy (optional)<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you prefer a thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water to create a slurry. Stir it into the sauce during the last 20 minutes of cooking and let it thicken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Serve<\/strong><br \/>\nCarefully remove the pork chops and spoon the onion gravy over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.<\/p>\n<h3>Serving Suggestions<\/h3>\n<p>This dish is delicious served with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creamy mashed potatoes<\/li>\n<li>Steamed white rice<\/li>\n<li>Buttered egg noodles<\/li>\n<li>Roasted vegetables<\/li>\n<li>Fresh dinner rolls or bread<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The rich onion gravy soaks perfectly into the sides, making every bite flavorful and comforting.<\/p>\n<h3>Storage Tips<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Refrigerator:<\/strong> Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freezer:<\/strong> Freeze for up to 2 months.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reheating:<\/strong> Warm in a saucepan over low heat or microwave until heated through.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Onions and Creamy Gravy This classic American slow cooker recipe is the perfect comfort food.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2211,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2210"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2210\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2212,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2210\/revisions\/2212"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
