Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient French Onion Pork Chops

Here is a simple and delicious recipe for Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient French Onion Pork Chops.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6-8 hours (low) or 3-4 hours (high)
Servings: 4

Only 5 main ingredients (plus optional garnishes).
The slow cooker does all the work.
The pork chops come out incredibly tender, smothered in a rich, savory onion gravy.

4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed French onion soup (do not dilute)
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or low-sodium soy sauce)
Optional for serving: Fresh parsley, sour cream, or egg noodles/mashed potatoes

1. Prep the Chops (Optional but recommended)

For extra flavor, season the pork chops lightly with pepper and sear them in a hot skillet with a little oil for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. This step is optional but adds depth.
If skipping the sear, place the raw pork chops directly into the bottom of the slow cooker.

2. Make the Gravy

In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry onion soup mix, canned French onion soup, cream of mushroom soup, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.

3. Assemble in the Slow Cooker

Pour the soup mixture over the pork chops in the slow cooker, making sure the chops are mostly submerged. Use a spoon to push some of the mixture under the chops if possible.

4. Cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are fork-tender and easily pull apart.

5. Serve

Carefully remove the pork chops to a plate. Give the gravy in the slow cooker a good stir to combine all the juices.
Spoon the rich onion gravy generously over the pork chops. Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice to soak up the sauce.

Thickness matters: Thinner chops will cook faster. Check for doneness around the 5-hour mark on low if your chops are thin to prevent them from drying out, though the liquid usually keeps them moist.
Gravy consistency: The condensed soups create a fairly thick gravy. If you prefer a thinner gravy, you can add 1/4 cup of beef broth or water before cooking. If you want it thicker, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking, or whisk 1 tbsp of cornstarch with 2 tbsp of cold water and stir it in during the last hour.
Add-ons: If you want some vegetables in the dish, you can add sliced mushrooms or sliced yellow onions to the bottom of the slow cooker before adding the pork chops.
