Slow cooker pork sirloin chops are the kind of practical dinner that earns a permanent place in a busy household because they rely on a short ingredient list and gentle, hands-off cooking to turn a lean cut of pork into something tender and flavorful. This style of recipe fits squarely into the Midwestern love of pantry-based comfort food, where a few familiar ingredients and a dependable slow cooker can carry supper with very little fuss.
Serve these chops with mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, rice, or creamy polenta so none of the savory sauce goes to waste. A simple green bean side, roasted carrots, or a crisp salad balances the richness nicely, and warm dinner rolls are always welcome if you want to round the meal into a full family-style plate.
4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Pork Sirloin Chops
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 raw pork sirloin chops
1 packet dry onion soup mix, about 1 ounce
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, 10.5 ounces
1/2 cup yellow mustard
Directions
1. Lightly coat the insert of a slow cooker if desired for easier cleanup, then place the raw pork sirloin chops in an even layer on the bottom.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the dry onion soup mix, condensed cream of chicken soup, and yellow mustard until smooth and fully combined.
3. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops, spreading it so the chops are well coated.
4. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, until the pork is tender and cooked through.
5. Serve the pork chops hot with plenty of sauce spooned over the top.
Variations & Tips
Make the sauce milder: If you want a softer mustard flavor, reduce the mustard to 1/3 cup and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water or chicken broth to keep the sauce loose enough for spooning.
Add extra body to the gravy: If the finished sauce seems thinner than you like, remove the chops and whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water, then stir it into the hot sauce in the cooker and let it thicken for 10 to 15 minutes on high.
Include vegetables: Sliced onions, baby carrots, or small halved potatoes can be tucked around the chops at the start, though this may slightly increase cooking time depending on the size of the vegetables.
Prevent dry pork: Pork sirloin chops are fairly lean, so it is best not to overcook them. Check for tenderness near the earlier end of the cooking range, especially if your slow cooker runs hot.
Finish with color: A little chopped parsley or a light sprinkle of paprika right before serving makes the plate look more finished and adds a touch of freshness without changing the easy nature of the dish.
