Why This Recipe Is So Flavorful
Perfect for tender, juicy pork with rich, comforting flavors. The slow cooking makes the meat fall-apart soft, soaking up all the delicious sauce. It’s a great meal for cozy nights when you want something hearty and satisfying.
Directions
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and placing them in your slow cooker. Then, pour in the mushroom soup, add the chopped onions, sliced mushrooms, and sprinkle the garlic powder over everything. Give it a little stir to combine the ingredients. Cover and cook on Low for about 8 hours, or if you're short on time, set it to High and cook for around 4 hours. You'll know the pork chops are done when they’re tender and an instant-read thermometer shows they’ve reached 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part. Once cooked, let them sit for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors settle.
