🛒 Ingredients (Serves ~6–8)
Main Ingredients
- 8 boneless pork loin chops (about 3 lb), 1 inch thick
- ½ cup all‑purpose flour
- ½ tsp seasoned salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- ½ tsp fresh thyme leaves (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 (10.75 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1¼ cups chicken broth
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (Delish Sides)
🍖 Instructions
1. Season & Dredge
- In a shallow dish, mix flour, seasoned salt, pepper, cayenne, and thyme.
- Dredge each pork chop in the seasoned flour — you’re lightly coating them, not deep‑frying. (Delish Sides)
2. Sear the Chops (Optional but Great)
- Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium‑high heat.
- Sear chops about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. This adds great flavor but you can skip to go straight to the slow cooker. (Delish Sides)
3. Layer Onions
- Place half of the sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker, then add the pork chops, and top with the remaining onions. (Delish Sides)
4. Make the Sauce
- In a bowl, whisk cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
- Pour the mixture over the chops in the slow cooker. (Delish Sides)
5. Slow Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for ~6–7 hours or HIGH for ~3–4 hours until the chops are tender and juicy. (Delish Sides)
6. Finish & Serve
- Garnish with extra fresh thyme if desired.
- Spoon the rich gravy over pork and serve with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, rice, or roasted veggies. (Delish Sides)
🍽️ Tips & Variations
- Soup swap: If you prefer cream of chicken soup instead of mushroom, it works just as well. (flavorsbylinbie.com)
- Vegetables: Throw in carrots or mushrooms for more flavor and a heartier meal. (flavorsbylinbie.com)
- Thicker gravy: If you like a thicker sauce, whisk a little cornstarch with cold water and stir into gravy 15–20 minutes before serving. (flavorsbylinbie.com)
