Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 3 pounds boneless pork chops (about 6 pieces)
Soup Mixture
- 21 ounces cream of chicken soup (2 cans)
- 10.5 ounces condensed French onion soup, drained (1 can)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Vegetables & Garnish
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Soup Mixture: Drain the liquid from the French onion soup can. In a bowl, combine the drained French onion soup, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy sauce base.
- Layer Pork Chops: Arrange the boneless pork chops evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the prepared soup mixture over the pork chops to cover them well. Then add the sliced mushrooms on top.
- Cook: Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 2.5 to 3 hours. Check that the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 165˚F indicating they are fully cooked and tender.
- Finish and Serve: After cooking, carefully remove the pork chops from the slow cooker. Stir the sauce in the slow cooker well to mix any separated liquid back into the creamy sauce. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops for serving.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the plated pork chops for a fresh, colorful finish.
Notes
- Ensure the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 165˚F for safe consumption.
- Draining the French onion soup helps avoid excess liquid diluting the sauce.
- You can serve this dish over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a complete meal.
- If you prefer, baby portobello mushrooms or cremini mushrooms can be used instead of regular mushrooms for a richer flavor.
- For a thicker sauce, you can remove the lid during the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
