Imagine coming home after a long day to the mouthwatering aroma of tender, juicy pork chops smothered in a rich and creamy sauce. With the Crock Pot Smothered Pork Chops recipe, you can make this dream a reality. This recipe takes comfort food to a whole new level, combining savory flavors and melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
The secret to the incredible taste of these pork chops lies in the seasoning. Each pork chop is generously seasoned with paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder, creating a flavorful crust that locks in the juices. The chops are then seared to perfection, creating a beautiful caramelized exterior that adds depth to the dish.
Once the pork chops are browned, they are placed in a slow cooker on a bed of sliced onions and mushrooms. The magic happens when a combination of cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups, along with a cup of low-sodium chicken broth, is poured over the pork chops. As the pork chops cook on low heat for few hours, the flavors meld together, creating a luscious sauce that infuses every bite.
For those who prefer a thicker sauce, a simple slurry of cornstarch and water can be added towards the end of the cooking time. This will give the sauce a velvety texture that clings to the pork chops, onions, and mushrooms, elevating the dish to new heights.
Going to try the crock pot pork chops! Thank you for all delicious recipes…
If we are only cooking for 1, do we just freeze the rest in single serving containers for meals when we are lazy?
It looks like this serves 4. Divide the ingredients by 4 to make 1 serving. You will have to divide the soups and freeze for making it again in the future. If you have a larger slow cooker, you could make the full recipe and freeze extra servings in individual containers.
Is that a dollop of sour cream on top? No mention of it in the recipe. Unless I missed it.
