Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Worcestershire Onion Pork Chops
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 boneless or bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
1 ounce dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
Directions
1. Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker if needed, then place the pork chops in an even layer in the bottom.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, Worcestershire sauce, and dry onion soup mix until well combined.
3. Pour the sauce over the pork chops, making sure each chop is coated well.
4. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
5. Spoon some of the sauce over the top before serving, and serve hot with mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.
Variations & Tips
Use bone-in chops: Bone-in pork chops tend to stay a little juicier during the long cook time, so they’re a great choice if that’s what you have on hand. Just aim for chops that are around 1 inch thick so they don’t overcook too quickly.
Make it ahead: This is an easy one to prep before work. You can whisk the sauce together the night before and store it in the fridge, then add everything to the slow cooker in the morning for a low-stress dinner later.
Thicken the sauce: If you want a more gravy-like finish, remove the cooked pork chops and whisk the sauce well before serving. You can also leave the lid off for a few minutes on warm to let it tighten up slightly.
Add mushrooms or onions: Even though the beauty of this recipe is its simplicity, sliced fresh mushrooms or a thinly sliced onion can be added for extra flavor and texture. They cook down beautifully and make the sauce feel even more homemade.
Watch the salt: Onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and condensed soup all bring plenty of seasoning, so there’s usually no need to add extra salt. If you’re serving this with salted sides like mashed potatoes or packaged noodles, taste first and season only at the table if needed.
