There is something mighty comforting about a slow cooker supper, especially on a busy day when you want the house to smell like you have been tending dinner for hours. These pork loin chops come together with just a handful of pantry staples, turning a simple package of bone-in chops into a tender, savory main dish with hardly any fuss. It is the kind of practical, hearty meal that fits right into a Midwestern kitchen, where stretching simple ingredients into something memorable has always been part of good home cooking.
Serve these slow cooker pork loin chops with mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or plain white rice to catch every bit of that rich sauce. A side of green beans, sweet corn, roasted carrots, or a crisp little salad rounds things out nicely, and warm biscuits or a slice of sandwich bread are always welcome at the table for sopping up the juices.
5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Pork Loin Chops
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 raw bone-in pork loin chops, about 3/4 to 1 inch thick
1 packet dry onion soup mix, about 1 ounce
1 can cream of chicken soup, 10.5 ounces
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Directions
1. Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray if desired, then place the raw bone-in pork loin chops in an even layer in the bottom.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the dry onion soup mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
3. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the pork chops, making sure the tops are well coated.
4. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the pork is tender and cooked through.
5. Carefully remove the pork chops to a serving platter or plates, spoon the sauce from the slow cooker over the top, and serve hot.
Variations & Tips
Make It Creamier: If you like a thicker, richer sauce, stir in an extra half can of cream soup during the last hour of cooking. That makes a nice gravy for mashed potatoes or noodles.
Add Mushrooms: A handful of sliced mushrooms tucked around the chops adds earthy flavor and makes the dish feel a little dressier without much extra work.
Watch the Cook Time: Pork loin chops are leaner than some other cuts, so try not to overcook them. Check for tenderness toward the earlier end of the cooking range if your slow cooker runs hot.
Swap the Soup: Cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup both work nicely here if that is what you have in the pantry. Each one gives the sauce its own familiar old-fashioned supper flavor.
Finish With Pepper: A little fresh cracked black pepper or a sprinkle of chopped parsley over the top before serving gives the dish a fresher look and a touch more flavor.
