Super Easy Crock-Pot Pork Chops

This was a staple for us growing up and one I make for my family and they love. We are having it tonight as a matter of fact! It could not be any easier and the options are practically endless.


Pork Chops - as many as you need to feed your family, bone-in or boneless - whatever is on sale!
1 can condensed Cream of Mushroom soup per 4-6 chops (depending on the size of the chops)



1. Partially or completely thaw your pork chops.

2. Spoon some of the condensed soup into the bottom of the crock pot, one or two spoonfuls depending on the size of your crock pot. Place a few chops on top and place more soup on top of them. Continue this process until all of your chops and soup are in your crock pot, making sure the top layer is soup. (This process is just to make sure the meat does not stick to the bottom of the pot or to each other and they all get some soup on them.)

3. Turn crock pot on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 4-6 hours or until the meat is no longer pink.

We usually serve this with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans.


Suggested Variations:
  • Try Cream of Mushroom with Garlic soup if you like garlic.

  • My brother does not like mushrooms so they use cream of chicken soup.

  • Make extra and freeze it for a later meal or save for leftovers or lunches another day.

  • This is great over noodles. We like either wide or homemade noodles and break up the meat into bite-sized pieces. If you like it saucier, mix in a little milk until it is the consistency you like!

  • Try sour cream to mellow out the mushroom flavor and make a creamy sauce.

  • Try using chicken instead of pork.

This is a great recipe to play with and be creative. Let me know what you think if you try it!

Enjoy!
