Sometimes you have no idea how popular a recipe will be. The one recipe that you think everyone will love barely gets any attention and the one that you think may not be appealing to the masses ends up being a hit. You never can tell sometimes.
Such is the case with this next recipe.
I thought twice about sharing this recipe before I posted it over at TastyKitchen. It's one of those recipes that is so easy, you think people may not look twice at it because the ingredients are so simple. But then I began to realize there was a whole group of folks that loved their Crock Pot as much as I do. Hey, we can't always make a meal that takes 3 hours to prepare every night of the week, right? This is where the slow cooker comes in. It is the best friend to busy parents everywhere. You can get a delicious, hot meal on the table with minimal effort. So today I bring you (drum roll please), Pork Chops.
Y'all gotta try this recipe - please! I promise it will not disappoint. Throw some steamed veggies on your plate (I like those microwaveable steamer bag kind, helps keep the clean up down to a minimum) and some mashed taters and you got a meal, baby!
Ingredients:
4 Bone-in Pork Chops (you can use boneless)
1 envelope Onion Soup Mix (1 Oz. Packet)
1-½ cups Chicken Broth
1 can (10.5 Oz) Cream Of Chicken Soup (low Sodium)
1 envelope Dry Pork Gravy Mix (1 Oz. Packet)
Directions:
Place pork chops in slow cooker. In a separate bowl, mix remaining ingredients and pour over chops. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Serve with mashed potatoes to take advantage of all the yummy gravy.
Cook’s Note: I prefer a thick cut bone-in pork chop, however, if all you can find is boneless, then go with that. I probably wouldn't go with a real thin cut though. You may want to also use a low sodium chicken broth if you are sensitive to salt. You can always add salt in later if you feel it necessary. Also, try other cream soups, like cream of mushroom with this dish.
Enjoy!

This recipe is a TOTAL keeper....SCRUMPTIOUS!
Found you morning off Siggy Spice. I am your newest follower and will be back. Hope that you stop over to visit me some time.
I appreciate this recipe. When you have wee ones, whose needs prevail over yours, it's all about time management. Moreover, a high maintenance meal especially on weekdays can be a hindrance and not a help. My slow cooker will tell me soon how tender those pork chops are!
I really hope y'all enjoy it. We make this recipe pretty often. It is budget friendly and time friendly. Nothing fancy but I really enjoy slow cooker meals. Some folks like a thicker gravy so you could certainly take out the pork chops (wrap them in foil) and pour the gravy into a pot on medium heat. Whisk in a little Wondra flour and continually whisk until it comes to a low boil and begins to thicken. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Love this recipe! You are so right about never knowing which ones will be popular. Desserts - which are not my forte - seem to be the most popular.
Thanks for following my blog, I'm following yours as well! I always love seeing your recipes on TK! :)
I so agree with your first paragraph, I really do. I so love your pork chops, too. I like the bone-in chops as well because the meat next to the bone is sweet and the bone makes the sauce tastier.
Thanks for the follow my fiddlin'/Facebookin' friend! Great recipes and great explanations! I used to do LOTS of cooking blog posts and I need to revive that. I just applied to be a contributor to "GeekMom.com" where posts like my Moon Sand Mayhem and Pixo-Monium posts would fit well. Enjoy blogging, it's fun and what's MORE fun is when you go back after several years and it's like a trip down memory lane. I started my blog around New Year's 2008.
PS: can I add you to my blog as one I follow? It's on the right-hand column.
Patricia - of course you can! You know I love reading your posts! Your stories would definitely fit in at GeekMom.com and your down-to-earth approach is what I love the most about your writing. And of course, you are a darn good cook!
I would have to say that my slow cooker and kitchen aid mixer are my two most prized kitchen appliances. I use both reguarly. This recipe sounds nice and easy! Bookmarked!
Annie - I completely agree!!
This sounds so much easier than the other way of frying pork chops. Plus, I bet they come out much juicier this way.
Ultimate favorite..it is mouth-watering photo!!!
I was just about to email you and I see that you got the badge. Thank you so much for the follow and display of the badge for Full Plate Thursday.Hope to see you soon, and have a great week end!

love that they are cooked in the slow cooker
I cook pork chops in the slow cooker all the time and I am definately going to give this recipe a try. It looks yummy and will be a nice change from my regular recipe. ~Alana~
I am absolutely loving your blog! Sincerely, these recipes look amazing. I am not even a huge pork chop fan but I would eat the heck out of these. The picture alone literally just made my stomach growl ;-)
I absolutely love this recipe,the pork chops are so tender,this the only way I will ever make pork chop.
This is my kind of home cooking!! I am making these this week because I just happen to have chops thawing in the fridge:)
I just bought everything I need to make this tomorrow :)
That looks yummy. I love slow cooked pork chops because they get so tender without drying out. Found you through the Gooseberry Patch link up.
With summer here, I'll be using my slow cooker a lot more! I'd love it if you'd come link up this, and a few more recipes, to my contest/linky!

I made these and the gravy turned out SUPER salty. What did I do wrong? Was I supposed to use low sodium ingredients?
Hi Ashley, I do put in the list of ingredients to use low sodium cream of chicken and I also have in the notes at the bottom that you may want to use low sodium chicken broth as well. My husband prefers the full sodium options but I prefer low sodium options. I realize everyone's sensitivity to salt is different.
So sorry this one didn't turn out good for you!
Its so nice of you to offer this in a printer friendly format...but I was wondering...can you start adding a picture in with the recipe. I'm a visual person and prefer to have a picture of every recipe in my recipe binder. Thanks much for sharing all your WONDERFUL recipes!
Was looking in the freezer wondering what to have for dinner...saw a package of pork chops and immediately thought of your recipe. They are in the slow cooker now.
I can't begin to tell you how many of your recipes we have tried and continue to make. Thanks!
Linda - thank you so very much for that! You made my day! I'm just so happy to hear you're getting as much enjoyment from these recipes as I do from sharing them!
I usually stay away from pork chops because I never know how to cook them, so I was a little scared of this recipe. It just so happened that I had 4 beautifully thick-cut pork chops in my freezer. I decided what have I got to lose? This recipe was awesome! The pork chops were tender and the gravy was so yummy. My only regret was that we ran out of dinner rolls :(
I used cream of mushroom soup and ran my onion soup mix through the food processor (as my 6 yr old wouldn't eat if she detected onion pieces).
Definite keeper! Tonight for dinner I'm trying your mac n cheese recipe.
I am so, so happy to hear you like this one! The pork these days is so lean that I know exactly what you mean when you say you get scared of cooking them. It can get dry very easily! (And I also know what you mean about those picky 6 years olds...lol) Good thinking on blending the onion soup mix! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how it turned out for you! Hope you like that Mac N Cheese recipe too! :)
