Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient French Onion Pork Chops
This easy Slow Cooker French Onion Pork Chops recipe is the perfect comfort food for busy weeknights. With tender pork chops, creamy mushroom soup, and rich French onion flavor, this hearty dinner requires minimal preparation and delivers maximum flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed French onion soup
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup beef broth or water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
- Arrange the pork chops in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker. Slightly overlapping the edges is fine.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed French onion soup, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
- Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pork chops, making sure each chop is well coated.
- Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
- Taste the sauce and add additional pepper or a small amount of salt if needed. Keep in mind that the canned soups and broth can already be quite salty.
- Serve the pork chops hot with plenty of the creamy French onion gravy spooned over the top.
What to Serve With French Onion Pork Chops
These pork chops are delicious with mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or steamed white rice. For a lighter side, serve them with roasted green beans, sautéed broccoli, or a crisp green salad.
Crusty bread or a baguette is also perfect for soaking up the extra creamy onion gravy.
Tips & Variations
Make it extra creamy: Stir 1/4 to 1/3 cup of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt into the sauce at the very end of cooking.
Use bone-in pork chops: Substitute four medium bone-in pork chops and add approximately 30 minutes to the LOW cooking time. Cook until tender and properly heated through.
Add fresh onion: For a stronger onion flavor, add one small sliced onion over the pork chops before pouring in the soup mixture.
Make it lighter: Replace the cream of mushroom soup with an additional 1/2 cup of beef broth and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch whisked into the French onion soup.
For a browned finish: Transfer the cooked pork chops to a baking dish, spoon some gravy over them, and broil for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pork chops and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of water or beef broth if the sauce has thickened too much.
